Abstract: An important national document that attracted attention towards the topic of participation of children in decision-making affecting their interests became the National Children's Interests Action Strategy. During the period of its implementation (2012-2017) the concept of participation undergone changes and distortions in some instances. Mass media played a significant role in interpretation of participation. The authors attempt to answer the following questions: how active are mass media in referring to the topic of children’s participation; what concepts of participation are brought into focus; does the mass media discourse aligns with the nationwide political legal discourse. Mass media publications for the period 2009-2019 selected by the information-analytical system “Integrum” became the materials for this research. Software program MAXQDA was used for processing and analysis. The scientific novelty consists in consideration of the insufficiently studied within Russian science topic of children’s participation, as well as in analysis of discourse on the matter created by mass media. The research demonstrated that participation is interpreted as a practical, initiative, socially important activity, as civic participation and unachievable ideal of social development associated with implementation of the basic principle of Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Abstract: Modern China pays much attention to reformation of the system of academic management and regulation, in partiular, advancement of the basic education, constraining of the general education and intensification of the vocational and secondary techical education.  Peculiarities of the economic and social development and hence a new level of competence of the working population (in 9 and 6 grades in town and in the country) create a completely new relation between the general education and vocational training. While European countries raise the question about combining these forms of education on the basis of overall senior school education, China will continue to have these educations as the two different directions for a long time. In the most regions of the country, vocational education exists at the level of secondary or even primary schools. In other words, secondary vocational schools become one of the ways to advance the overall secondary education.  The government, society, school and family secure the right of children and teenagers to mandatory education disregarding their gender, nationality and religion.
