Legal Education in School and College

The system of Russian education is being thoroughly restructured and oriented towards attaining Russian leadership in the scientific, technological, and socio-humanitarian fields. It is also aimed at establishing the rule of law and ensuring Russia's social and cultural identity on the basis of traditional spiritual and moral values. These changes, which will have an impact on school education and secondary vocational education, require the development of new training, new methods and new methodological foundations for providing legal instruction. Legal literacy, as a crucial element of functional literacy, requires serious work and a "reset" of the legal education system.
