Russia cancels the teaching of sociology, cultural studies and political science in all pedagogical universities of the country
(article in Russian)
The Ministry of Education decided to improve the quality of education in Russia and the prestige of the teaching profession, for which the country's pedagogical universities are being unified: they are introducing uniform standards for the training of teachers, saving them from humanities-related "excesses".
Minister Sergei Kravtsov spoke about plans for such a “modernization” — in pursuance of the president’s order — last summer, mentioning the working title of the program — “Teacher of the Future Generation of Russia.”
