USSA: "Education shall not pass!"

USSR:

"Take good care of book"

In top right corner "Love book - the source of knowledge" by Gorky.

"Excelling in our duty"

"To build you should know, to know you should learn"

Book in hand "technology of metals", books on table are "construction works" and "integral calculus".

"Our country should be most literate and culural country in the world", "Learn and work! Work and learn!", "To have more you should produce more, to produce more you should know more"

"...the task is TO LEARN!", reference to Lenin's quote "...to learn, to learn and to learn"

"Work at day, learn at evening"

For context this is worker with medal "For Labour Valour"

In modern Russia even vandals are pro-education. But this is not thanks to, but despite current regime.

Gee, I wonder why tuition is so high and yet class sizes keep getting bigger and courses are increasingly stripped down to standardized testing format.

Where could all of that money gone?
