Do modern Russian schools provide education or training?

The concepts of “education” and “training” are sometimes considered synonymous. However, it is not true, as education is a result of training always requiring systematization of the acquired knowledge. Students of non-chemical schools have not been receiving education in chemistry in the course of training in chemistry for a long time already. The reason is poorly thought-out reforms of the educational system taking place for the last 10–15 years. The lack of sufficient chemistry education prevents students from mastering chemistry in higher educational institutions. The situation is aggravated by the transition of higher educational institutions to a two-step “bachelor-master” system.
