The Ministry of Education of Russia discussed the assignment of the Russian teachers to work in Uzbekistan
The First Deputy Minister of Education of Russia, Dmitry Glushko held a video conference call with the First Deputy Minister of Public Education of the Republic of Uzbekistan Usman Sharifxodjayev.
Within the second stage of the project "Class!" the Ministry of Education of Russia plans to send the Russian teachers to Uzbekistan to work in local schools. The parties agreed that the arrival of the Russian teachers in the Republic of Uzbekistan would take place in several stages until the end of February 2021
“In the current academic year, 100 Russian specialists will be sent to Uzbekistan, of which about 30 are resource specialists who will continue to work on improving the qualifications of the Uzbek teachers, and 70 - Russian teachers will go to teach at school,” said Dmitry Glushko.
According to the First Deputy Minister, the first group of teachers was planned to be sent by the end of January 2021 to the three main regions of the Republic of Uzbekistan - Tashkent, Bukhara and Samarkand. This is due to both good transport accessibility and significant regional points of support for the Russian language in Uzbekistan.
In addition, at the request of the Uzbek Party, in February a joint team of the Russian and Uzbek authors will begin work on a textbook on Russian as a foreign language with country specificity for Uzbekistan. Leading Russian experts will take part in the work. It will be based o results of a linguistic audit and monitoring of the level of knowledge of the Russian language, conducted in the fall of 2020 as part of the first stage of the "Class!" Project.
Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia developed six test tele-lessons on grammar of the Russian language for schoolchildren of grades 7-11 of the Republic of Uzbekistan within distance learning. Each lesson is dedicated to a specific topic (weather, travel, etc.). Each lesson lasts approximately 30 minutes.
The practice of broadcasting TV lessons is widely developed in Uzbekistan and contributes to ensuring the continuity of educational process, regardless of the epidemiological situation and remoteness of pupils' places of residence.
