Media Education Literacy in the World: Trends

Taking into account the fact that UNESCO defines media education literacy as the priority
field of the cultural educational development in the XXI century, media literacy has good prospects
in Russia. We can also see the fast progress of media education in other Eastern European
countries. For example, Hungary, Slovakia and Czech Republic (since the beginning of the XXI
century) became the first European country to introduce obligatory media education courses in
secondary schools. Summing up, at the beginning of the XXI century media education in the
leading world countries has reached the mass scale, supported by the serious theoretical and
methodological research. However media education is still not equally spread in all of the
European, African and Asian countries
