公立少数民族语言学校在保护少数民族社会文化方面发挥着关键作用。本文探讨了俄罗斯联邦少数民族语言在教育系统中的机构地位及其因最新教育改革而发生的变化。在语言教育领域，改革的理由是必须确保公民在教育中自由选择语言。然而，有人认为，那些制定改革的人对公民权利的关注不如对国家建设议程的关注。对政策文件和法律的行为的分析表明，教育改革并没有从制度上影响语言教育的模式。提交人还认为，改革实际上不鼓励教授少数民族语言，因此，将不可避免地导致学习其“母语”的学生人数进一步下降。
Public minority-language schools have a crucial role in the preservation of the societal culture of the minorities. This article explores the institutional position of the languages of the minorities of the Russian Federation in the education system and its transformation as a result of the latest education reform. In the area of language education the reform was justified by the need to ensure the free choice of languages in education by citizens. However, it is argued that those who developed the reform were not as concerned with the rights of citizens as with a nation-building agenda. The analysis of policy documents and legal acts demonstrates that the education reform has not institutionally affected the modes of language education. It is further argued that the reform actually discourages teaching of minority languages and, therefore, will inevitably produce further decline in the numbers of students learning their “native language”.
