NEW CHALLENGES TO MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT IN RUSSIA

Abstract

The variability of multicultural processes in the world, their dynamism, undoubtedly determines a significant problem associated with the design of new foundations for the development of multicultural education in Russia. The authors consider such challenges to the development of multicultural education in Russia, as the consequences of the country’s withdrawal from the Bologna system, Russia’s turn to the east, which is characterized by the active expansion of long-term academic cooperation with Asian countries, in connection with which the issues of studying the culture of the peoples of these countries are of undoubted interest, strengthening of all-Russian identity in the context of dynamic multicultural processes and, in this regard, adherence to the principle of “Russian basis and diversity of nationalities, each of which is of great value for Russia”. The authors rightly emphasize the dynamic nature of the development of multicultural education, which is determined by new challenges. A detailed study of new challenges allows us to make timely changes in the development of multicultural education in the future and design new educational practices that can be successfully applied in various educational institutions.
