Russia Considers 12-Year Education System to Ease Child Workload
Russia's Education Minister Sergei Kravtsov has sparked debate by suggesting a potential shift to a 12-year education system. However, he stresses that no final decision has been made, and serious analysis and public discussion are required.
Kravtsov envisions a dialogue involving scientists, teachers, experts, and parents to discuss the merits of extending the education period. Renowned academician Gennady Onishchenko supports this idea, believing it would reduce annual workload on children, benefiting their health and productivity.
Currently, Kravtsov is implementing unified federal education programs and standardized lesson planning to balance workloads for students and teachers. He also aims to address disparities in teaching core subjects like history and literature across Russia through a federal education standard.
The potential shift to a 12-year education system in Russia is under consideration, with the Education Minister emphasizing the need for thorough analysis and broad public discussion. The dialogue will involve various stakeholders to weigh the pros and cons of this significant change.
