SHORT:
The Russian government has put in place a rule that stops children who don’t speak Russian well from joining schools.
This has caused discussions among teachers, parents, and people who care about rights. Some people think knowing Russian is important for talking and doing well in school, but others say this rule makes it harder for kids who don’t speak Russian, especially those from different backgrounds or families who moved to Russia.
They worry this limits these kids’ chances for education and might not be fair. There are also worries about schools not having enough help for kids learning Russian. It’s not clear yet how this rule will affect education and these kids in the future, and it shows the struggle between wanting everyone to be part of the same culture and respecting different ways of life.
