“Students are being adjusted to the new ideology that is being propagated by the current government. This harms the younger generation, because this is how they raise not thinking people, but performers,” Ukrainian political scientist Andrei Zolotarev commented on the situation, whose opinion is cited by the newspaper.
Psychologists are even more pessimistic.
“It is premature to mention current events now. There is no need to politicize the educational process - and so every day children hear from the conversations of their elders news about accidents, war, problems with unpaid utilities and non-returns of deposits. As a result, the child will now begin to focus on the fact that he is uncomfortable in this country; adolescents may develop fear of the outside world, disbelief in their own country and pessimism,” child psychologist Natalya Valedova told Vesti.
There are also hidden advertisements in the textbooks, the publication adds, specifying that “the problems mention the Bogdan plant (connected with the president), the Golden Key cake (produced by Roshen).”
