Buchaev: Big Science in Schools project will open new opportunities for Dagestan

Minister of Education and Science of Dagestan Yahya Buchaev commented on the launch of the joint project of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia “Big Science in Schools”, which was launched on November 9 in the Novosibirsk region.

According to Buchaev, the launch of the project is an important step in the development of a single educational space, where schools, universities and scientific institutions join forces to train future specialists and researchers. Acquaintance of schoolchildren with science should not be limited to textbooks – the child should see how theoretical knowledge is applied in practice.

For Dagestan, this direction is of particular importance: the interest of schoolchildren in natural science and technical disciplines is growing in the republic, work is developing to support talented children, but it is necessary to strengthen interaction between schools, universities and scientific institutions. The Minister stressed the importance of equal opportunities for schoolchildren from rural and mountainous areas, where talented children are available in every municipality.

“We consider the project as an important federal initiative, which opens up additional opportunities for the development of the scientific and educational environment of Dagestan,” Buchaev concluded.
