From Russian school programs, the teaching of the Ukrainian language is excluded due to the "changed geopolitical situation in the world"
The Ministry of Education of Russia intends to exclude from the federal general educational program at all educational steps a block dedicated to the study of the Ukrainian language. Kommersant drew attention to the draft order of the Ministry.
The current program in the Ukrainian language, writes the publication, will completely lose strength. This is done in connection with the “changed geopolitical situation in the world,” the explanatory note to the document of the Ministry of Education says.
According to the Ministry, according to the results of the school year - 2023/24, the Ukrainian language as a native was studied without fail only in the annexed Russian Federation of the Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions. In addition, according to parents in the last academic year, the Ukrainian language was taught in Bashkortostan, self -proclaimed DPR, LPR, as well as in the annexed Crimea.
The draft order also excludes the course of Ukrainian literature from the school curriculum as a native from the first to the ninth grade. This subject will remain only in the program of 10-11 grades, notes the "agency".
For secondary and high school, the use of federal educational programs (FOOP) is mandatory in the Russian language, literature, history, social studies, geography and the basics of the safety and protection of the homeland. For other subjects, there are methodological materials that teachers can use at will. The phoope was created to help teachers and school administration.
War through the eyes of readers "Medusa"
Dmitry (Moscow). For a long time I could not get together and write, because I live with the understanding that all my experiences as a Russian are not comparing with a sense of constant anxiety, fear and horror with which Ukrainians live every day. Although I am the opponent of the so-called “collective” responsibility, I am constantly gnawing at the doubt that I personally did not do something in order to prevent it. In addition, this recently added a sense of shame for our people. During the war years, I had to say goodbye to, as I now understand, naive opinion that our people are kind and responsive, ready to help and so on.
Many people live in the illusion that people of the older generation are supporters of the war, who only watches the TV, but from personal experience with colleagues (I understand that this is not a representative sample, but nevertheless) the majority either for or is indifferent on the principle of "I personally do not concern me." Despite the fact that these are people of 30–40 years old, who, if desired, clearly have access to information. I agree with the opinion that our company is divided by 10% - 80% - 10% (against - it makes no difference - for).
The complete absence of empathy is striking, as if we live in the Middle Ages, when the concept of “our or foe” was limited to its village or the city. It is amazing that people do not see how the country that defeated fascism itself has become a fascist state. It is amazing that people who are constantly bombing (Kursk and Belgorod), instead of the requirements to stop bloodshed, record appeals to Putin with the prayers “Tsar Batyushka, help”, as if he were not the root cause of their suffering.
As for the deadlines for the end of the war - the war as such will not end until its initiator died, so so far it remains to hope at least for a ceasefire in order to cease to die. But here, I still have no prospects that this will happen in the near future.
