Yakutia's Proposed Constitutional Changes Spark Education Fears
The Yakutia Republic's proposed constitutional changes have sparked debate and concern. The draft law, initiated by the Head of the Republic, aims to alter education guarantees, raising fears of job losses and school closures. Public hearings revealed societal pain and mistrust in the republican power.
The proposed changes seek to remove guarantees for general secondary and additional education, aligning them with the outdated Article 43 of the 1993 RF Constitution. This move contradicts the 2012 Federal Law No. 273 'On Education', which confirmed the guarantees established in Yakutia in 1992. The author of Article 22 of the 1992 Constitution, which established the principle 'Education is a Benefit, not a Service', has expressed concerns about the proposed changes.
The root of the problems is believed to be financial issues of the republican budget. The need to find ways to replenish it has been highlighted as a direct task for the government. Some institutions, such as the defense and armaments industry, and parts of the financial and export-oriented industries, may benefit from the uncertainty and conflicts that could arise from these changes.
The proposed constitutional changes in Yakutia have raised concerns about education quality, job security, and public trust. As the geopolitical shift to the northeast continues, maintaining trust in the power chosen by the people is crucial for national security. The influence of opposition party deputies was evident at the public hearings, reflecting the concerns of voters ahead of the upcoming State Duma election. The final outcome of these proposed changes remains to be seen.
