According to the press service of the State Duma, the bill is aimed at developing among students “hard work, a responsible attitude to work and its results.”
Schoolchildren will be required to participate in socially useful work provided for by the educational program, taking into account age and psychophysical characteristics, as well as maintain cleanliness and order in the educational organization.
One of the authors of the bill, the chairman of the State Duma Committee on Education, said that “socially useful work” can be considered, for example, planting trees and flowers on the territory near the school, participating in decorating a classroom or school grounds for various events, helping to work in the library .
The wording of the current law “On Education” states that schoolchildren are prohibited from being involved “in work not provided for by the educational program.” The amendments provide for the abolition of this provision.
Shortly after the start of a full-scale war in Ukraine, the Russian authorities began to make various changes to the education system in order to “educate” schoolchildren and students.
In particular, in Russian schools, from September 1, 2022, the school week begins with the performance of the anthem and the raising of the national flag.
Also, schools hold “Conversations about the Important”, in which students are told about the so-called “SVO” (the Muscovite war in Ukraine – “Rakurs”). From 2023, a course of initial military training will begin in Russian schools.
