This was announced by the head of the Department of Education, Science and Youth of the Kherson Regional State Administration, Evgeniy Krinitsky, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Our principled position is to gradually transfer absolutely all schools in the region to the Ukrainian language of instruction. That is why we plan to start from the first grades this year,” the official stated categorically.
Now there are 26 Russian-language schools left in the Kherson region.
“There are issues of retraining teaching staff, and additional purchases of Ukrainian books are planned. We will translate first grades into Ukrainian, then fifth grades. That is, we will systematically and smoothly transfer all classes,” added Krinitsky.
The decision on the gradual transition of Russian-language educational institutions to the Ukrainian language of instruction was made by the Kherson State Administration.
Let us recall that the right of citizens to use the Russian language and languages of national minorities, including in the field of education, is enshrined in Part 2 of Article 10 of the Constitution of Ukraine, as well as in the Ukrainian law on languages and in the European Charter for Regional and Minority Languages signed by Ukraine. However, all these documents are simply ignored by the Ukrainian authorities.
