In the UK, schools with in-depth study of mathematics will appear, created on the model of Soviet special schools during the “arms race”. writes about this The Sunday Times .

The author of this idea was the country's Education Minister Michael Gove . In his opinion, the Soviet experience of the 1960s can help significantly improve the level of mathematics in state educational institutions.

“The basis is taken from the schools that appeared in the USSR during the era of the “arms race” in the 1960s of the last century to educate the mathematical and scientific elite, which was supposed to stimulate the development of the country,” the newspaper reports.

According to The Sunday Times , the first such school in the UK will be created on the basis of King's College London in 2014. The project has already received support from the Kingdom's Ministry of Education . It is expected that the school will educate mathematically gifted children who will be prepared to enter the best universities in the country.

“As in Soviet schools, some of which continue to operate successfully in modern Russia, some subjects will be taught by university teachers or students,” the publication notes.

, was chosen as a model As the newspaper writes, the famous physics and mathematics boarding school at Moscow State University , founded in 1963 by Andrei Kolmogorov . Among others, one of the world's leading experts in the field of protection against computer viruses, Evgeniy Kaspersky, graduated from this school .

In the UK there will be analogues of Soviet mathematical schools from the time of the “arms race” - Gazeta.Ru
