As part of the forum, a roadmap for the project “Children of the Arctic. Preschool education". And although, in addition to the leaders of the Federal Agency for Nationalities of Russia and the Association of Indigenous Peoples of the North, Siberia and Far East then the heads of only five Arctic regions (Yakutia, Komi, Yamal, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra and the Arkhangelsk region) signed up, now many heads of other regions are ready to join the project.

The project is to create conditions for indigenous children to receive a quality education, taking into account their culture and language. To do this, the first stage involves the study of methods in the regions and abroad, identifying the best teaching practices among them. Then all the information will be analyzed and discussed by specialists in order to create the most effective training program and apply it in the national schools of Russia.

On June 22, the Ministry of Education and Science of Yakutia, together with the Ministry of Development of Civil Society Institutions of Yakutia, held a meeting on the implementation of the first stage of the project via videoconference, which was attended by representatives of the interested bodies of the five subjects participating in the project, and from our side, in addition to specialists from ministries, representatives of ethnic associations .

During the meeting, specialists from the Arctic regions emphasized that Yakutia, along with Yamal, rightfully occupies a leading position in the field of education of the northern peoples. Indeed, our republic is doing a lot to preserve and develop the languages ​​and culture of the indigenous peoples of the North, which was described in detail in her speech by the First Deputy Minister of Education and Science of the RS (Y) Feodosia Gabysheva. Feodosia Vasilievna drew attention to the experience of Yakutia in the field of nomadic schools and the prospect of creating nomadic kindergartens. Emphasized the importance of reducing the requirements of supervisory authorities for nomadic educational institutions. According to the deputy minister, there are already those wishing to open nomadic kindergartens, but it is very difficult for them to obtain the required licenses. Another issue that Feodosia Gabysheva drew attention to is an increase in funding standards. She also noted the importance of the adoption by Yakutia of the regional law "On the Nomadic Family", which is designed to support families that continue to lead the traditional nomadic way of life.

The moderator of the meeting, Deputy Minister for the Development of Civil Society Institutions Lena Ivanova, gave the floor to all participants of the videoconference in turn to provide analytical material on the ongoing work within the framework of the project “Children of the Arctic. Preschool education".

Yamal specialists said that at the end of August they are ready to launch a pilot project “Getting Ready for School” in the region, when a large-scale consultation route will pass through the Nenets nomads, in which colleagues from Finland will also take part. By the way, all regions participating in the project will also be represented at this event. Each region has its own characteristics, for example, in the Arkhangelsk region there is no longer a nomadic population, and representatives of the peoples of the North receive education in Russian. And the greater the significance of this project. Recall that the Saami managed to reverse the situation with their native language, when its speakers were extremely few. Thus, each region must present its vision for the education of indigenous children, all methods will be published on the website of the All-Russian Association of Indigenous Peoples.

After the end of the video conference in the hall, an exchange of views took place among specialists and representatives of the indigenous peoples of the North, during which the program "Children of the North" was mentioned several times, which was curtailed back in the 90s. This pro-

Gram offered an integrated approach to training, supply educational institutions and recreation for children. The participants of the meeting emphasized that, ideally, one should strive for the Children of the Arctic project to be aimed at achieving results in its development.
