Cooperation Between China And Russia In Higher Education

Education has always been the basis of the existence of a civilized society. As South Africa’s Presidant Nelson Mandela said:《Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world》. Education policy is an important element of the whole social policy of any country, it must be one of the priorities of each government, as it helps the country to increase its stability. Taking education as a basis, I will show two countries’, Russia and China, preconditions and new horizons of cooperation in higher education.We live in the times of globalization. Therefore, at the present stage the factor of internationlization started to influence the national education system. Internationalization of education is largely due to the convergence of national education systems, helping them to develop common concepts and promoting the common cultural enrichment of the various states.Contemporary relations between Russia and China can not be called as simple. Gaining cooperation in the political and military-technical spheres was not supported by economic ties for a long time. Therefore, in my work I have characterized history of Sino-Russian relationship, analyzed contacts in the sphere of higher education between these two countries and investigated main problems and prospects of such cooperation.Russia and China share very similar positions on a lot of issues, positions based on the principles of responsibility, commitment to the basic values of international law, and unconditional mutual respect for each other’s interests. This makes it easy for two countries to find a common language, develop common tactics and strategies, and make a constructive contribution to international discussions on the most serious issues we face today.This is of great importance that the Russian-Chinese strategic partnership plays an effective part in strengthening regional and global stability, especially the cooperation in higher education.
