Russia to share ‘multipolar world' education model with friendly nations
Moscow will introduce an education model designed to help students contribute to building a 'multipolar world,' Russian Education Minister Aleksey Kravtsov said ahead of an international conference in the city of Kazan. More than 20 education ministers are expected to attend the two-day 'Shaping the Future' forum, which begins on Wednesday, according to the organizers. Russia seeks to cooperate with 'friendly countries' by sharing its experience in teacher training, curriculum development, and school construction, Kravtsov told reporters on Tuesday. 'Russia's school system ranks among the top ten globally in terms of quality, and among the top three for gold medals won at international academic Olympiads,' he said. 'It is essential that our students learn about other countries, build international friendships, and contribute to shaping a multipolar world. The future depends on it,' the minister added. Kravtsov said he plans to unveil an 'ideal school model' called the Eurasian Lyceum, which could be adopted by other nations. 'We are proposing an alternative system for assessing education quality based on three principles: non-politicization, relevance to present-day needs, and transparency,' he said.
