Russian to English: Немецкая система обучения: ключ к успеху страны // The German Education System: The Key to the Country's Success General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Government / Politics
Source text - Russian Сегодняшняя Германия – одна из наиболее развитых стран Европейского Союза, рай для исследователей и студентов-иностранцев. Это страна гениев философии и литературы, которые внесли неоценимый вклад в развитие западноевропейской цивилизации, страна, подарившая миру около 70 нобелевских лауреатов. В чём же секрет немецкой системы обучения? И насколько важна роль государственной поддержки в области образования и исследовательской деятельности?
Главные козыри системы образования Германии
Сейчас в Германии насчитывается 427 высших учебных заведений. Из них 108 – это университеты, 52 – художественные колледжи и 215 – технические институты.
Со времён основания первого университета в 1386 г. в городе Гейдельберге немецкое общество трепетно относилось к вопросу поддержки высших учебных заведений и научных исследований. И государство сыграло не последнюю роль в становлении качественной системы образования.
Постоянная значительная бюджетная поддержка со стороны федеральных земель и государства, образовательная и финансовая автономия вузов, а также ставка на научные исследования являются главными козырями немецкой системы обучения.
Финансирование университетов возложено на правительства каждой отдельной федеральной земли. Этот принцип закреплён и в немецкой конституции. Бюджеты немецких вузов входят в бюджет федеральных земель. Но в то же время существует централизованная поддержка Берлина, а также фондов Европейского Союза. Средства на создание новых исследовательских центров или приобретение дорогостоящего оборудования в основном покрываются совместными усилиями местных органов управления и правительства...
Translation - English Today’s Germany is one of the most developed countries in the European Union – a paradise for researchers and international students. It is a country of philosophical and literary geniuses that have made invaluable contributions to the development of Western European civilization. It is a country that has brought the world around 70 Nobel laureates. So, what is the secret of the German education system? And how important is the role of governmental support in the field of education and research?
Highlights of the German Education System
There are 427 higher education institutions in Germany today. Out of these, 108 are universities, 52 are art colleges, and 215 are technical institutes.
Since the founding of the first university in 1386 in the city of Heidelberg, German society has been meticulous about supporting higher education and research institutions. And the creation of such a high-quality system of education can be largely attributed to the support of the government.
The continual and substantial budgetary support from federal states and the national government, the educational and financial autonomy of higher education institutions, as well as the focus on scientific research are some of the German higher education system’s strong points.
The funding of universities is delegated to the government of each separate federal state. This principle is fixed in the German constitution. The budgets of German higher education institutions come out of each federal state’s budget. At the same time, though, there is also the centralized support of Berlin, as well as European Union foundations. Resources for creating new research centers or acquiring expensive equipment are generally covered through the joint efforts of local authorities and the federal government...

Bio
I am a specialist in Russia and Ukraine with a professional background translating texts for a variety of non-profit and commercial clients. I hold a Master's in Russian, Eastern European, and Central Asian Regional Studies from Harvard University, which entailed intensive translation work from Russian and Ukrainian into English. In addition to extensive field research conducted in Ukraine, I lived in Russia for two years.
Since then, I have worked in the international non-profit field with a focus in public health and human rights. I pride myself on providing high-quality translations with a quick turnaround time.
In addition to translations, I also offer copywriting and proofreading services in English.
