27 April 2022, 10:59Patrushev advocated the reform of education in the Russia with an emphasis on the development of intelligence and spirituality
Moscow, April 27, Interfax – Secretary of the Security Council of Russia Nikolay Patrushev considers it necessary to reform Russian education, returning to the traditions of the Soviet school and focusing on the support of traditional morality.
"The current situation proves the need to defend traditional Russian spiritual and moral values, reform the education system and enlightenment with the return of historically justified advantages of the national school. I am still convinced that the Soviet school of education has historically been the most advanced and progressive in the world, and progress should be made with this in mind," Patrushev writes in an article published by Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
In his opinion, it is necessary to pay more attention to the development of logical thinking of students, to form stable knowledge and the ability to make independent decisions, "and not just put crosses in tests", to develop the applied application of fundamental sciences.
It's impossible to rely solely on the digitalization of education, since the Internet can be not only a source of encyclopedic information, but also politicized disinformation, the secretary of Security Council believes. The whole education system, he said, should be based on the development of personal intellectual and spiritual qualities.
"Properly educated, comprehensively educated, physically and morally healthy children who know and understand the history and culture of their homeland are our wealth and the key to the guaranteed successful development of Russia," Patrushev said.
He also believes that Western sanctions are aimed at both material and spiritual impoverishment of Russians. "To destroy our education by imposing so-called progressive learning models is for Westerners as strategic a task as, for example, bringing NATO closer to our borders," the secretary of Russian Security Council said. |
