The meeting of the trusteeship and administrative councils of the Foundation "Vozrozhdenie" was chaired by the State Councilor of Tatarstan Mintimer Shaimiev. The meeting participants summed up the work of the organization on the revival of the ancient Bolgar and the island-town of Sviyazhsk and discussed the progress of the pilot project - the creation of multilingual educational complexes. Mintimer Sharipovich Shaimiev named the key task for the coming years - reforming the education system. This is the creation of a multilingual educational complex in the republic. Within four years it is planned to build six such facilities - with training in three languages - Russian, Tatar and English, two of which will be located in Kazan and one each - in Naberezhnye Chelny, Almetyevsk, Nizhnekamsk and Elabuga. “With the participation of the foundation, we embarked on a new project - the problem of the state of education. The world is changing so fast that we are lagging behind, running out of time. An artificial stagnation has been created in our country in the education system, meanwhile the methods of educating children around the world are changing. We can not lag behind. The price of the issue is too high,” - Mintimer Shaimiev said.
