Unusual subject set for potential implementation in Omsk schools by 2026
The Union State of Russia and Belarus is set to introduce a new history textbook in Russian and Belarusian schools from the 2026-2027 academic years, as part of the Union State's educational plans.
The development and publication of this textbook, which will focus on the history of the Union State, is currently under consideration. The Russian Ministry of Education and Science has submitted a budget request to the Permanent Committee of the Union State, seeking funding for the project.
Oleg Gaidukevich, a deputy of the Union Parliament, has stated that the Parliamentary Assembly of the Union of Belarus and Russia is ready to support the project if it is brought to the table. As of now, the budget request is under review.
If a positive decision is reached, work on the textbook will commence, with representatives from the ministry in ongoing contact with colleagues from the Union State regarding this project. The new history textbook, if approved, may be available for use in Russian schools after its release in the next two years, and potentially in Belarusian schools as well.
This move aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the history of the Union State, fostering a sense of unity and shared identity among the youth of Russia and Belarus. The introduction of this textbook is expected to enrich the curriculum and contribute to a deeper understanding of the historical ties between the two nations.
Stay tuned for more updates as the Union State's Permanent Committee considers the budget request for the development and publication of the new history textbook.
What will be the impact of the new history textbook in Russian and Belarusian schools on politics and general news, considering it aims to foster a sense of unity and shared identity among the youth of Russia and Belarus?
