Education Ministry official who proposed bringing back school discos resigned

Natalia Agre, director of the Department of State Policy in the sphere of upbringing, supplementary education and children's recreation of the Russian Ministry of Education, who said that school discos should be returned to create romantic conditions for children, has left her post at her own request

"Yes, that's right (left her post - Ed.). At her own will. <...> I have already told my colleagues since December that I am leaving," Agra told RIA Novosti on February 4.

In late January, the official said it was necessary to bring back school discos to teach children how to build romantic relationships. Russia's Education Ministry, for its part, said it is not currently working on any projects related to demography and has not announced any such projects.
