I.V. Egorova The education quality problem

Abstract: The issue of quality of education was brought to attention during the Age of Enlightenment. The significance of modern-era spread of information technologies can only be compared with the invention of the printing press in XVth century, or even the emergence of the written word. Developing mental skills is an important goal of education, and knowledge is not the only thing education has to offer. Learning to think, analyze and compile, based on the knowledge received is also important. Knowledge and understanding are different things. One may know, but may not understand an idea in all its depth, or recognize all of its shades. Practical skill is only born from understanding.
