On 1 September 2015 the students will learn in general for the whole country textbooks on history, Russian language and literature. So suggests a group of deputies from the “United Russia”, which has made to the House amendments to the Education Act. The authors claim that “a carbon copy” of children to learn is not to be, writes “Rossiyskaya Gazeta”.

Recall that the idea of ​​creating a single textbook in February last year endorsed the Russian president Vladimir Putin – the truth, he said at the time only on the study of history. Current textbooks on the subject, he said, full of internal contradictions and double interpretations. And at the end of August this year, the head of state said at the forum “Seliger” that the single concept of history teaching does not prevent teachers communicate to students their point of view.

A group of deputies of the State Duma of the “United Russia” has expanded this idea and prepared amendment, according to which the common base line of textbooks to the same standards will be established in three subjects – “History”, “Russian” and “Literature”.

The bill was discussed after the introduction of on-site games with the participation of experts. As agreed by the meeting participants, these items – the three pillars of education in Russia – and the training necessary for them to coordinate, to the output of the educational institution to receive citizen and patriot of Russia.

As explained by the Chairman of the State Duma Committee for Security and Anti-Corruption Irina spring, now in arts education uses the principle of variability. And if in 2011-2012 the Ministry of Education has authorized the use of the textbook in 1872, then in 2013-2014 – 2982. Such an approach violates the constitutional rights of man, say Spring and her colleagues – is wrong, when third parties without the consent of parents and children choose to any textbook students will learn. “Variability – is primarily a commercial interest,” – adds the MP. According to her, textbook authors master budget and make a profit, and in the minds of the new generation as a result of confusion reigns. In addition, different textbooks complicate the transition from school to school and lead to discrimination in the delivery of the exam (the same questions, and curricula at all different).

The authors promise keeping ethnocultural characteristics: in addition to textbooks regions will if you want to develop tools with the local “flavor”. However, they will check for compliance with the general concept.

Scientists and representatives of religious organizations supported the bill – many of them said that the need for a unified textbooks proved the political crisis in Ukraine, which occurred as a result of “brainwashing.” “Education becomes an aspect of national security. How to teach, then we get – say, in particular, the head of the department of political science overall HSE Leonid Polyakov. – The war for hearts, minds and souls to be won by us”.

The explanatory note to the bill states that the selection of textbooks will conduct the tender committee of representatives from the Ministry of Education, regional officials, as well as professionals. Once the new textbooks have been prepared, they will publish on the website of the Ministry. Within a month, will be held a public examination, and then per month commission will compile the comments and give their authors, and those able to make changes to their works. All of this suggests deputies not have much time. As explained Irina Spring, to introduce a single line of text books on history, Russian literature and planned with the next school year.
