Summary/Abstract: This paper, the author compares, from a political science perspective, some key features of Anglo-American, Bologna Process, and post-Soviet secondary and higher educational systems. The central argument is that quality citizenship is necessary for quality education. The former is understood as political freedom combined with equitable access for and inclusion of youths from all social backgrounds, in both the «horizontal» and «vertical» dimensions of education. Quality citizenship also improves the governance of educational institutions.
