The experience of multilingual schools in Bashkiria is used in curricula in the CIS

Bashkiria's experience will be used in organizing the work of multilingual schools when creating joint educational institutions abroad, the press service of the regional government reports. The construction of nine Russian-Kyrgyz schools was discussed at a meeting in Ufa by the Minister of Education of the Russian Federation Sergey Kravtsov and the Minister of Education and Science of Kyrgyzstan Dogdurkul Kendirbayeva.

"The first educational institutions will open their doors in September 2027. We have reviewed plans for cooperation between our pedagogical universities, including the exchange of experience, teachers, and students. Kyrgyzstan has accumulated a very interesting experience in natural science education, teaching specialized subjects, advanced level subjects. This is also very important and meaningful for us. We have handed over a certificate for new Russian language textbooks for Kyrgyz schools. They were developed jointly with colleagues from the Kyrgyz Academy of Education," Sergey Kravtsov said after the meeting.

The Minister singled out Bashkiria as one of the leaders of multilingual education. So, on behalf of the head of the republic Radiy Khabirov, 12 such schools have already been opened in the region. They teach in Russian, Bashkir, Tatar, Chuvash, Udmurt and Mari languages. This model takes into account ethnocultural features and can be implemented when drawing up plans for schools in Kyrgyzstan, where it is necessary to combine Russian standards with a national component.

"We share common cultural and linguistic roots, spiritual and moral values, and joint humanitarian projects. More than 200 students from Kyrgyzstan study at our universities. They feel very comfortable here. The project to create Russian—language schools in Kyrgyzstan is of great importance for strengthening the strategic partnership between our countries," Radiy Khabirov emphasized.

The Head of Bashkiria added that the republic is ready to share innovations in the field of education. Sergey Kravtsov called the experience of the region useful for other regions of Russia, noting not only teaching methods, but also programs for the overhaul of schools, as well as a system of additional payments to teachers and students of specialized universities.
