"The School of Economics"

During 1999 our second ISE Internet project - The Resource Center "The School of Authors" was begun. The main purpose of the Center was the development and dissemination of new educational methods in the teaching of economics. The Center also serves as a basis for a growing network of specialists from a variety of universities, schools and organizations to share their experiences and expertise.

In 2000 the first electronic forum of secondary school teachers was started on this website. More than 100 teachers of Economics, History and Geography from 30 cities throughout Russia spent four months discussing the new book "The World and Russia", written by World Bank Institute specialists and published by our Institute. The discussion was planned and run with the assistance of the editor of this book, Tatyana Soubbotina (Education Specialist, Development Education program, World Bank Institute).
