This system involves specializ- ing in one subjcct, after having acquired a more gcneral base in secondary school. Once in the unidersity, studcnts would acquire a gencral background in a spe- cialty, and subsequently narrow the area of concentration. Sarkisov said that this method succeeded untll‘the recent modi- fications in the Russian govern- ment. The birth of a market sys- tem revealed the urgency of a broader education, and Mendeleyev for one has added to its curriculum,-courses in man- agementand business, classes that engineerspreviously did not take. “We have developed multi- level preparation for the students,” he said.

Reflecting on this attitude, Sarkisov said he thought “young people have adapted much more quickly and easily to the market - 1=800=KAP=TEST system than olderpeople [have].” Further, when the current col- lege-aged population is middle- aged, the country will see radical changes, he said.
