• Resumen

  • The chemical education system of the former Soviet Union (FSU) is analyzed in all three components: high school, undergraduate, and graduate education. A rigorous preparation in mathematics, physics, and chemistry in both high school and college provides students with a broad basis for understanding chemistry. It results in offsetting some downsides of the FSU education system, such as old-fashioned approaches in teaching inorganic and physical chemistry, shortage of sophisticated equipment, and the lack of competition in graduate studies.
