In its analytical report UNESCO rated Russia among other G8 countries in terms of the youth education level. According to the report, there are three times as many young people with secondary vocational educations in Russia as in developed countries. In addition, in terms of the youth education level, Russia does not trail developed countries and in certain aspects more than equals them.
At the same time, the report's authors stressed that Russia owes its high education rating to its well-developed system of primary and secondary education, whereas the number of young graduates from higher vocational institutions is lower in Russia than in other G8 countries. Russia's leading regions in terms of education are Mordovia, Moscow, St. Petersburg, the Leningrad region and the Chuvash republic. The Republic of Tuva, the Karachai-Chercassian republic and the Tyumen region were rated among the lowest.
