Ministry reveals plans to lessen academic burden in schools
In a significant development for the Russian educational system, the Ministry of Education and Science has announced a reduction in workload for schoolchildren. This news was highlighted by Anzor Muzaev, the head of Rosobrnadzor, in a statement addressing the overload in the Russian school curriculum.
Muzaev emphasised that the overload in the curriculum, which he estimated to be as much as 15-30%, negatively affects preparation for transition to higher education and places additional strain on children and teenagers. He also pointed out that this overload increases the workload for teachers.
The reduction in workload for schoolchildren was achieved through extensive and detailed work, the details of which can be found in the department's order No. 704. However, the name of the person who issued this order and the exact publication date are not yet known.
The impact of this reduction is expected to be significant, as it aims to alleviate the overload and its negative effects on the educational system in Russia. This news was reported by the press service of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science on September 19, and was also covered by Yug Times, a news outlet.
RIA Novosti reported on Muzaev's statement, which underscores the negative impact on children, teenagers, and teachers due to the overload in the Russian school curriculum. Muzaev's statement also suggests a need for changes in the curriculum to address this concern.
The Russian Ministry of Education and Science has reported that this reduction will have a positive impact on the educational system in Russia. The specific changes made to the curriculum to achieve this reduction are yet to be fully disclosed, but the reduction in the length of school essays for students is one such change.
This issue of the overload in the Russian school curriculum has been a concern for some time, and Muzaev's statement serves as a call to action for addressing this issue and improving the overall educational system in Russia.
