Ukrainian schoolchildren will continue to study the works of Nikolai Gogol, Vladimir Korolenko, Mikhail Bulgakov’s story Heart of a Dog, Anatoly Kuznetsov’s novel Babiy Yar, Ilya Ilf and Yevgeny Petrov’s novel 12 chairs.
It was decided to leave the work of Russian writers related to Ukraine in the school curriculum of foreign literature. The head of the Department of General Secondary and Preschool Education of the Ministry of Education and Science, Yuriy Kononenko, spoke about this on the air of the all-Ukrainian telethon.
A draft order has been prepared to approve changes to all curricula, the document should be approved in the near future.
“It was decided that writers who wrote in Russian, but their work is closely connected with Ukraine… if they were born, lived in Ukraine for a long time or reflected Ukrainian themes in their works, their work will remain in the curriculum,” emphasized. Kononenko.
Kononenko said that Ukrainian schoolchildren will continue to study the work of Nikolai Gogol, Vladimir Korolenko, Mikhail Bulgakov’s story Heart of a Dog, Anatoly Kuznetsov’s novel Babiy Yar, the novel of Ilya Ilf and Yevgeny Petrov 12 chair
Kononenko added that the updated program of foreign literature will not include a large number of new works.
“When we started studying foreign literature, the course consisted of a huge amount of literature of the Russian Federation – both classical and Soviet. During the years of independence of Ukraine, the percentage of literary works of the Russian Federation decreased due to the inclusion of English, French, Spanish, American, Oriental in the program. The word “instead of” is not appropriate here – many works are studied by selection. If we talk about something which is completely new, then the Austrian writer Josef Roth will be studied,” said the official.
Recall that in some libraries of the city of Rivne organized a collection of books of Russian literature to send for waste paper.
