Realnoe Vremya continues to publish the opinions of Kazan residents about the mandatory study of "Tatar Tele" in the schools of Tatarstan. Elmir Nizamov and Realnoe Vremya's columnist Mark Shishkin have already spoken on this subject. Lidia Safina, creative director of the New Idea advertising agency, presents her own view on the problem.

"If we plant a turnip, the banana palm will not grow"

The situation that “suddenly” developed around the study of the Tatar language in the schools of Tatarstan is, without a doubt, serious and needs to be addressed. In fairness, it should be noted that it required a solution and was not resolved correctly for a rather long period. The difficulty lies in the fact that the topic of language learning has been moved from the sphere of language, education and general culture into the political sphere. By manipulating attitudes towards languages, stakeholders are tackling questions of a completely different kind. This is similar to how negligent parents use their children to settle their scores and cheat.

The very fact that the topic was pedaled rather nervously and suddenly right on the eve of a new school year, suggests the idea that it is not at all linguistic and educational problems was designed to solve this PR message. The issue of educating children, urgently brought down on the heads of already anxious parents and teachers, has reached its goal - society is worried, trying to find stability and peace by finding extreme, guilty ones and, already warming up itself, solves problems that are not their own and performs tasks that are not their own.

Falsely set tasks cannot bring adequate results. If we plant a turnip, the banana palm will not grow, no matter how persistent the gardener is, no matter how many turnip seedlings he plants, and no matter how hard he pulls the sprouts up from the ground.

Of course, showing beauty, originality, uniqueness, originality, antiquity, greatness native nature, culture, history, art, customs, introducing the life and work of Tatar scientists, musicians, poets, artists, public figures".

"Living on the land of Tatarstan, we all want to live in peace and harmony"

What would we like to have and what do we have?

Living on the land of Tatarstan, we all want to live in peace and harmony, we all want to live in peace of mind, common sense and harmony with the outside world. The motherland, like parents, is unconditionally loved. And the key word here is love. How to instill love in the younger generation? Of course, showing the beauty, originality, uniqueness, originality, antiquity, the greatness of native nature, culture, history, art, customs, introducing the life and work of Tatar scientists, musicians, poets, artists, public figures. And not to divide on a national basis, but to tell about all the great people who were raised by the Tatar land. Language is an integral and important part of this entire historical culture. And it must be studied in the context of all wealth cultural heritage. It is possible to instill such respect in children, to instill true love for the native land only by the example of one's own sincere love and affection.

Instead, we succeeded in trying to "do good." Substituting surrogate goals for true goals, we flooded the children with formal knowledge that was of no interest to anyone. Children do not have the slightest opportunity to truly learn and love history and culture. native land. And there is no other point in learning the Tatar language. There is no point in learning a language for which there is neither love nor interest. Illiterate, inhumane educational programs repulsed any natural desire to learn a language from more than one generation.

“As soon as the topic of language is exposed, the hydras of chauvinism and radicalism raise their heads”

This topic is also dangerous because it inevitably creates high interethnic tension out of the blue. As soon as the theme of language is exposed, the hydras of chauvinism and radicalism crawl out of their holes and raise their heads. And it is dangerous and difficult to control.

What would I personally, as a mother of a student, as a resident of Tatarstan, as a citizen of my country, want in relation to the Tatar language? The first is a radical revision of the entire curriculum in relation to the Tatar heritage. Let it be a general cultural subject, including the history, geography and culture of the native land. And language is part of it. For everyone - the basics of the language, its features, general literacy. It is necessary to teach children to understand the language and communicate in it in basic level. But this should be achieved not by increasing the hours of the curriculum, but by the quality of teaching. Five hours a week of unsolicited informative garbage is rejected by the students. This is called "with what they fought, they ran into something." There can be no talk of any love or any interest.

What do I expect from the current situation? To be honest, I do not expect an immediate reasonable outcome from this situation. I mentioned the reason above. But still I would like to hope for the triumph of common sense, at least gradually.

I would very much count on the return of the required former 6 hours a week of the Russian language to replace the current 2 hours a week.

“Will my son attend Tatar lessons this year?”

For me, this year is no different from the previous five years. Five years ago, having a principled position on this issue, I tried to resolve it at the level of higher authorities - we talked with Tina Kandelaki, and she organized my meeting with A.Kh. Gilmutdinov, who at that time was the Minister of Education of the Republic of Tatarstan. It was a conversation with a wall. Schools, in turn, work according to programs launched from above, which have nothing in common with school realities. Teachers are in the grip of these unnatural programs. To prove something to someone at the school level is stupid.

Will my son attend Tatar lessons this year? Probably will. Just like the previous five years. What he will do at the Tatar lessons - I do not know. And I'm not interested. Usually he draws there or does lessons in other subjects. What grades will he have in the Tatar language? Which ones will he get. I don't worry about this at all. We focus on the rest school subjects. The Tatar language teacher at the meeting asked to buy workbook for 150 rubles. This, of course, is not great money, but for some reason I don’t want to spend it on principle. In general, I will not take any active measures regarding the Tatar language at school, so as not to create problems for my son and the school - after all, they are not to blame for anything.

In connection with this, I recalled the story of the eldest son. He passed the exam in the Tatar language in the 9th grade with a deuce. I was called to school, called to my parental responsibility. I nodded my head - yes, bad. As a result, a three was put in the certificate. And they took the word from me that we would study with a tutor in the future. And we did - I promised. The son graduated from school, safely not knowing Tatar, but speaking English brilliantly. Later, he graduated from the Faculty of Philosophy of the University with a "red diploma" with a degree in Political Science. And never in my life did I remember about that deuce in the exam.

Putin's words about the inadmissibility of forced learning of non-native languages ​​were perceived ambiguously in Tatarstan. Yes, the languages ​​of the peoples of Russia, the President noted, are also an integral part of the original culture of the peoples of the country. But "to study these languages ​​is a right guaranteed by the Constitution, a voluntary right"...

It is precisely in the word “voluntary” that the whole conflict lies, which is being sharply discussed in Tatarstan these days. The site inkazan.ru writes about the details.

Tatars forget native language

Meanwhile, this complex problem can have very unpredictable consequences. As you know, the Tatars are the second largest people in Russia. According to the 2010 census, 5.31 million citizens of Russia considered themselves to be this people, and 4.28 million people spoke the Tatar language (among Tatars - 3.64 million, that is, 68%)

Experts note that despite the fact that the Tatar language in the republic is on a par with the Russian state language, there are fewer Tatars who know their native language. And there is nothing surprising in this - both assimilation and mixed marriages play their role. And of course, the weakening of the position of the language is associated with the low quality of school teaching and the closure of national schools.

According to the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Tatarstan, in 2016-2017, 724 schools (including branches) with the Tatar language of instruction operate in the republic. 173.96 thousand children of Tatar nationality study in schools (this is 46% of the total). Of these, 60.91 thousand Tatar children study in Tatar schools. The total number of Tatar children studying in their native language is 75.61 thousand people (43.46%). That is less than half!

The results of a mass study conducted in Tatarstan in 2014 do not add optimism to the defenders of the native language. According to him, the majority of Tatars would like their children to speak Russian (96%) rather than Tatar (95%). In third place was English - 83%.

A study conducted among young people in 2015 showed that most of them want to speak English (83%). In second place is the Russian language (62%), while only 32 to 38% of respondents would like to know Tatar. Thus, a peculiar scale of prestige has been built: “Western - Russian - Tatar”, where the latter is perceived as archaic, it also acts in the ideas of modern youth, the experts conclude. The lack of incentive to learn the Tatar language is largely due to the fact that, according to the respondents, this language does not help to find a prestigious job.

This situation could not but disturb the All-Tatar Public Center (VTOC), which sent out an appeal to deputies and political organizations to save the Tatar language. The appeal says that, despite the equality of both state languages ​​enshrined 25 years ago in the Constitution of Tatarstan, in fact only Russian can be considered the state language in the republic. For all these years, the State Council of Tatarstan "has not been able to organize at least one meeting in the Tatar language, and simultaneous translation has been canceled in the Kazan City Duma." 699 Tatar schools were closed in the republic, as well as Tatar faculties in two universities.

“Tatarstan should have one state language - Tatar,” the WTOTS members conclude. - Radical? Maybe there are other suggestions on how to preserve the Tatar language?”

The law on bilingualism in Tatarstan already exists, it is reflected in the Constitution, and no other law is needed, State Council deputy Khafiz Mirgalimov comments on this statement. The state languages ​​should remain Russian and Tatar.

“In fact, we have two state languages. If someone does not speak Tatar, then you need to address this question to him - why does he not speak? - considers the vice-president of the Academy of Sciences of Tatarstan Rafael Khakimov.

In reality, however, things are not so simple. For example, the Minister of Education and Science of Tatarstan, Engel Fattakhov, said that not only teachers who know the Tatar language are acutely lacking in schools, but this leads to a deterioration in the quality of national education.

But the schoolchildren themselves, apparently, are not too eager to learn the Tatar language. In 2015, the website of the ROD human rights center published an article signed by 11-grader Diana Suleymanova, who wrote that schoolchildren called Tatar the least favorite subject at school. The girl wrote that children are divided into groups - primary or advanced - based on the surname, without taking into account whether families with Tatar surnames speak the national language.

They also tried to fight for the Tatar language in an administrative way: on July 11, 2017 (even before Putin’s speech), the State Council of the Republic of Tatarstan adopted a bill, according to which municipalities received the right to fine the management of institutions and other institutions for the lack of information in the Tatar language.

It is not difficult to judge the prospects for such measures in Russia: they have always been and will remain a source of various abuses, but the solution of the problem itself is unlikely to be brought closer.

It is curious that at first in Tatarstan they said that the words of the head of state about the language have nothing to do with their region. Whereas in neighboring Bashkiria they hurried to salute the head of the republic Rustem Khamitov promised to cancel compulsory lessons of the national language in schools, and then the prosecutor's office of the republic issued a statement banning non-voluntary study Bashkir language in local schools.

Putin's words contradict the constitution of Tatarstan?

As for Tatarstan, the struggle for the native language continues. This can be judged at least by the way the president's words are interpreted.

For example, the journalist Maxim Shevchenko, who was present at the meeting, where the president spoke his words, hurried to explain Putin's position:

“This is a signal to everyone that the study of Russian will be mandatory, and you organize the study of languages ​​for those who wish. I believe that it is useful for people to learn languages, especially such as Tatar. He immediately opens the world in many countries. If you know Tatar, for example, you feel free in Turkey, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, you can communicate freely with the Kyrgyz ... Let's agree with the president that the state language be obligatory. And with the rest of the languages ​​- let's be able to sell them, as they say in the modern world.

But according to the leader of the Russian national movement Mikhail Shcheglov in Tatarstan, the President of Russia addressed his words specifically to the authorities of Tatarstan. In his opinion, the leadership of the region should take measures and correct the current situation, without waiting for personnel decisions from the federal center.

“For 10 years, I have almost physically felt the pain of parents who do not know how to get rid of this hated subject “Tatar language”: they pretend that they are studying, and aggression comes from above - from the directors’ corps, the bureaucratic educational corps.”

The public figure called the statement of the region's authorities that it was possible to reach a consensus on the study of the Tatar language in the republic as a lie. The national language, Shcheglov is sure, has been planted and is being planted:

“National languages ​​are to be preserved in the environment of their natural speakers, and not artificial, surrogate ones. Let the Tatars learn their language, keep it and be responsible for it to their descendants, but do not impose it through administrative pressure.”

Minister of Education and Science of the Republic of Tatarstan Engel Fattakhov commented on the statement of Russian President Vladimir Putin as follows:

« We have a Constitution, a law on languages ​​- we have 2 state languages: Russian and Tatar, a law on education. Both state languages ​​are studied in the same volume. We act according federal standards. Here we have no violations. All actions are coordinated with the Ministry of Education. We are performers. We comply with the law, we have an education program, based on this, we will act.”

Fattakhov said that this year there were no 11th grade graduates in the region who could not overcome minimum threshold, passing the exam in the Russian language. According to him, on the instructions of the head of the region Rustam Minnikhanov, about 150 million rubles are annually allocated from the budget to improve the quality of teaching the Russian language. According to preliminary data, in comparison with the regions of the Russian Federation, the results of graduates in Russian are higher than in most regions, he said. This year, 51 graduates passed the unified state exam for 100 points. However, a year earlier there were more such results - 85.

To the teaching of the Tatar language, the head of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Tatarstan reminded, the approach in the region is differentiated.

“In our republic, the concept of teaching the Tatar language is adopted specifically for Russian-speaking children, for Tatar children who do not speak it perfectly, and purely Tatar children. Our position is as follows: we have 2 official languages. And any parent does not mind if his child is fluent in Russian, Tatar and more English language. We think that everything depends on us and we will continue to work.”

The Attorney General took over the case.

Added fuel to the fire of the discussion was the message that Putin instructed the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation, together with Rosobrnadzor, to check how the rights of citizens to voluntary study of their native language and the state languages ​​of the republics are respected in the regions.

The leadership of the regions was instructed to organize teaching of the Russian language at the level approved by the Ministry of Education of Russia, to improve the quality of teaching. The heads of the regions should make sure that the schools general education program children studied the national and state languages ​​of the republic exclusively on a voluntary basis at the choice of their parents.

This news did not please everyone. For example, political scientist Abbas Gallyamov believes that inspections by Rosobrnadzor and the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation in the republic can cancel compulsory Tatar language lessons. “Of course, Tatarstan will have to give in. And this will be another blow to the positions of the leadership of the republic. Moscow will once again demonstrate that it does not intend to reckon with his opinion.”

The results of a sociological study do not look very optimistic, according to which 23-27% of Tatars in Kazan admit that their children might not learn their native language within the framework of school curriculum. Putin's statement about the voluntary study of non-native languages ​​was supported by 68% of Tatars and 80% of Russians.

And already on September 7, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Tatarstan issued an official statement regarding calls to cancel compulsory study Tatar language in schools of the Republic of Tatarstan.

The ministry noted that, based on Article 68 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the republics that are part of Russia can independently establish national languages ​​for their region. It is reminded that the national languages ​​in Tatarstan are Russian and Tatar, which is why their study in schools is mandatory.

The ministry noted that this moment The department is engaged in improving the methods of technologies for teaching the Tatar language and language policy in Tatarstan. It is also reported that from January 1, 2018, the volumes of studying the Russian language will be brought up to the volumes recommended by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.

As usual in such cases, the difference in the interpretation of the words of the head of state led to various incidents. For example, a resident of Naberezhnye Chelny stated on social networks that her son was released from Tatar language lessons at school. However, then the woman was informed that she had misunderstood the situation: “The director told me that “I misunderstood them”, referred to the explanation of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Tatarstan and said that the Tatar language is compulsory. The director verbally denied me the right given to me by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation and the President of the Russian Federation to choose whether or not to teach my child a non-native language. However, to issue a denial writing She did not want. Referring to the fact that she has a period of 30 days. Having received a refusal even orally, I had the opportunity to write complaints to the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, which I will do today.”

As Inkazan found out, Russian-speaking parents are uniting in social networks to achieve the abolition of the study of the Tatar language for their children. In each of them, community administrators emphasize that they are not against the Tatar language as such. They point to its voluntary study and demand that the Tatar language not be imposed on the Russian-speaking population.

No winner debate

It would not be an exaggeration to say that every day the situation around the Tatar language in Tatarstan is heating up. So, on September 14, an open debate was held in Kazan on the topic “Tatar language in the education system of Russia”, in which parents of schoolchildren and representatives of public organizations took part. According to the moderator of the conversation, Alber Muratov, the reason for the meeting was the growing scandal in social networks, which resulted in mutual attacks by the Russian and Tatar-speaking population of the republic on the issue of learning the national language as part of the school curriculum.

Member of the All-Tatar Public Center (VTOC) Marat Lutfullin said he did not understand the meaning of the debate. According to him, educational institutions of the region independently develop educational programs, taking into account federal and regional specifics and legislation. He proposed in general to increase the number of hours, both Russian and Tatar, as well as to introduce a mandatory final certification based on the results of studying the national language. His remarks provoked a backlash from the audience, who started shouting and interrupting the speaker.

Eduard Nosov, Chairman of the Committee of Russian-Speaking Citizens of the Republic of Tatarstan, spoke at the meeting and read out the explanation of the Prosecutor's Office of Tatarstan on the issue of studying national languages. According to him, the department stated that the right to study the native language as the state language has been realized in the republic. However, the prosecutor's office noted that there is a "legal conflict regarding the field of study of the subject area" mother tongue ". There is no distinction between the state language and the native language in federal legislation.”

Ekaterina Matveeva, a member of the Anti-Corruption Committee under the Ministry of Education of Tatarstan, said that during the day of work hotline The ministry received more than 40 complaints about the compulsory study of Tatar in schools, some of which came from groups of students' parents. In addition, Matveeva announced cases of pressure on parents working in the public sector. For speaking out against the study of the national language by children, they were threatened with dismissal, she said.

And WTOC chairman Farit Zakiev said, in turn, that in Russia over the past few years the number of Tatars speaking their native language has decreased by more than 1 million people. “Absolutely, the Russians are not to blame for this, the policy that is being pursued is to blame. We must ensure that Russian parents demand that their children be taught Tatar.”

Zakiev proposed introducing a 25% salary increase for those who speak Tatar, as well as conducting a bilingual interview when applying for a job in government agencies. Zakiev's statements caused a negative reaction from the audience - many rose from their seats and began to interrupt the speaker.

“Why are there any protests, complaints to Moscow? This would not be desirable, because Tatarstan is a separate state and, naturally, the Tatar language is taught to citizens,” Zakiev said, asking those present in his statements “to proceed from the Constitution of the Russian Federation.”

“We come from it! We can’t go back, they kick us out, they say that “we have our own,” they shouted from the hall.

It is not difficult to guess how this collision will end: the Tatar language in Tatarstan is doomed to optional study. But this is unlikely to contribute to civil peace in the republic.

The beginning of the new academic year in Tatarstan was marked by a scandal related to the parents' refusal to study the Tatar language in schools. The point is that the first school week September, information began to spread among parents that supposedly there is a real opportunity to refuse to study the Tatar language. To do this, you just need to write a letter of refusal to study it, and the school management is obliged, in pursuance of the order of Russian President Putin V.V. , it is the desire of parents to satisfy.

This message caused a wide resonance in the society, and many parents actually began to write applications for refusal to study the Tatar language. In this regard, the Ministry of Education and Science of Tatarstan even issued a special explanation. In addition, Rosobrnadzor, together with the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation, will check the "voluntariness" of studying the Tatar language in schools by November 30, 2017.

However, the media, in my opinion, do not cover the real picture of the current problem. Based on the fact that my child is studying at an ordinary school in Tatarstan, I decided to clarify some important aspects, without taking into account which, this problem is unlikely to be solved.

First of all, it should be noted that "there is no smoke without fire." The fact is that this situation has been brewing neither today nor yesterday, but over the course of many years of existence of republican sovereignty. And during these years, the problem was diligently driven "under the carpet", despite the fact that every year it grew. That is why the information stuffing with a proposal to write refusals simply tore off the lid of the fairly boiling "cauldron" of parental indignation and discontent.

Secondly, the problem of bias in the study of the Tatar language really exists, and it is not so important how it complies with federal and republican legislation, what matters is that it IS. It consists in the fact that the Tatar language, which has the status of the second state language, is studied in Tatarstan along with the main state Russian language. For example, in the lower grades, the number of hours per week of lessons of the Tatar language and Tatar literature (which is also conducted in the Tatar language) varies from 4 to 6. This volume is the same for students of all nationalities, there is only a division into Russian and Tatar subgroups. However, with all due respect to Tatar, the Russian language is still more complex. And thanks to the ongoing degradation Russian education, the number of hours for studying the school curriculum of the Russian language is not enough. Accordingly, this leads to the need to study it in schools additionally or contact tutors.

Proceeding from this, the third aspect of the problem follows: these are the parties to the "conflict". In the media, these are, as a rule, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Tatarstan and residents of Tatar nationality, on the one hand, and on the other, they are Russian-speaking citizens, and public organizations, type "Societies of Russian Culture of the Republic of Tatarstan". In fact, the vast majority of parents of the republic, regardless of nationality , are outraged by the excessive number of Tatar language lessons and the lack of hours in other subjects, which have to be replenished additionally. Many are ready to write statements about refusing to study the Tatar language. I did not conduct social research, but the vast majority of my acquaintances, parents of schoolchildren of Tatar nationality, are outraged even more than Russians! Simply because they want their children to be able to successfully graduate after school and get jobs. Good work within the whole of Russia, and not just Tatarstan. In addition, the quality of the curricula and teaching of the Tatar language in schools is such that when leaving the school, only a small amount remains in the minds of graduates. lexicon Tatar words and expressions, despite a large number of study hours. And parents ANY Nationalities resent the fact that such a result has to kill so much study time.

And finally, the last, most important aspect of the problem is that it is very easy to turn it into the mainstream of interethnic confrontation. Although in fact, there is no oppression of the Russian-speaking population here, because. the root of the problem lies in the technical bias in favor of the Tatar language and the quality of its teaching. In addition, the study of the Tatar language is quite useful, if only because it belongs to the Turkic language group, the total number of which is about 180 million people. So quality learning the Tatar language will only expand the horizons and language capabilities of our children.

Nevertheless, in Tatarstan and in neighboring Bashkiria there are forces that are trying to bring this, in fact, a technical problem into the plane of ethnic hatred. And if in Bashkiria these are Bashkir pseudo-nationalists, then in Tatarstan, apparently, the fire of interethnic confrontation is kindled with a Russian accent. Therefore, the republican authorities need to very carefully and consistently approach its solution, avoiding extremes, and taking into account all the above aspects. Otherwise, a new surge of interethnic confrontation awaits us.
