Russia Launches Project to Integrate Migrant Children into Schools

A new project has been launched to identify children of migrant families who are not enrolled in Russian schools or have not undergone mandatory testing. The initiative aims to adapt and integrate these children into Russian society. The project is a result of a law passed in July by the State Duma, enabling data exchange between the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) and educational institutions.

The project, which began in April, involves multiple ministries and regional authorities. It uses various databases to exchange information about children of migrant families. By August, documents for 23,600 children were submitted, but only 8,200 provided complete sets, with just half passing the tests successfully.

According to the Federal Service for Supervision in Education, only 12.6% of children of foreign citizens are currently enrolled in Russian schools. The project aims to address this issue by identifying children who have dropped out of the education system and providing them with the necessary support for integration.

The project, facilitated by a legislative amendment passed in July, is a significant step towards ensuring that all children in Russia, regardless of their background, have access to education and integration opportunities. The initial results show that while there is still much work to be done, the project is making progress in identifying and supporting children of migrant families.
