Abstract

The article deals with a problem of increasing availability and quality of education for the indigenous peoples of the North of Russia. The issues of preserving and modernizing nomadic schools of Yakutia are discussed. The characteristic features of the educational process in such schools are described. Different classifications of the nomadic educational institutions are analyzed. On the basis of their analysis the authors suggest introducing an ethnic and cultural component while characterizing the mobile schools. On the territory of the republic there are 8 nomadic schools and kindergartens. They can be divided into 3 groups according to the ethnic and cultural aspect: Evenk (3), Even (4) and Chukchi (1). In conclusion, regulatory framework for nomadic schools, professional training of teachers and use of information technologies as well as vocational guidance of students are proposed to be developed.
