Study the following information and compare it with the
Russian system of training.
Student Training
Students in England are trained in one of the following ways:
(1) at a university
, where they first take a degree in some subject(s)
and then a Postgraduate Diploma/Certificate in Education in the
faculty/department of education;
(2) at a college of education
, where they take either a degree course
leading to the Bachelor of Education
, or a shorter, less academic
course leading to the Student Certificate. Both courses combine the
study of the subject(s) to be taught with student training;
(3) at a college of higher education
, where they take the Diploma in
Higher Education, and then a student training course leading either
to the Bachelor of Education or the Student Certificate.
Students with a degree are called graduate students
(or simply
graduates) and those with a Teacher's Certificate - certificated
teachers or non-graduate teachers (or non-graduates).
The university institutes of education are establishments attached
to а university which supervise and coordinate the training of teachers
in their areas, approve syllabuses for the Teacher's Certificate
examinations and conduct these examinations. They also provide
service training and carry out research.

Pre-reading task
1. You are going to read a set of texts about the main branches
of engineering. What branches of engineering do you know?
2. Divide into groups and take part in a round-table discussion
of principal branches of engineering.
3. Do you as an up-to-date engineer have a basic knowledge of
