Abstract
The chemical education system of the former Soviet Union (FSU) is analyzed in all three components: high school, undergraduate, and graduate education. A rigorous preparation in mathematics, physics, and chemistry in both high school and college provides students with a broad basis for understanding chemistry. It results in offsetting some downsides of the FSU education system, such as old-fashioned approaches in teaching inorganic and physical chemistry, shortage of sophisticated equipment, and the lack of competition in graduate studies.

Chemistry Teacher Connection

The "Chemistry Teacher Connection" (CTC) is especially for high school chemistry teachers. For only $40/year, it offers an online-only subscription to CLIC along with membership in the Division of Chemical Education, normally $65/year. CTC subscribers receive access to all articles and supplements from 1996 through the current issue.


C&EN CLICs

Through special arrangement with the ACS, JCE High School CLIC is now able to provide subscribers with online access to Chemical & Engineering News articles that have been selected specifically for secondary science instructors and their students.
