  3. Russia Education Aid for Development (READ)

Russia Education Aid for Development program (READ) was agreed in 2008 in framework of cooperation between the Government of the Russian Federation and the World Bank to support developing countries.

Center for International Cooperation in Education Development was created to develop the institutional capacity of Russia in development aid. CICED acts within the READ program aiming at improving the quality of education in the partner countries, as well as strengthening the role of Russia as an a new donor in education.

International assessments highlight large achievement gaps between students in rich and poor countries. Within countries too, inequality exists between regions, communities, schools, and classrooms. These disparities have important implications not just in education but for the wider distribution of opportunities in society.
