Dear colleagues, dear friends!
I wholeheartedly congratulate you on National Unity Day – a holiday that embodies the idea of unity and shared responsibility for the fate of our Motherland. This day reminds us that the unity and love for the Motherland of our people will allow us to overcome any trials.
The national education system is confidently moving along the path of sovereign development. A unified educational space has been created, a key part of which is upbringing based on traditional values. Unified state textbooks and educational programs, as well as the unity of the pedagogical and parent communities in matters of forming a harmoniously developed and socially active personality, play a special role here.
Our common task is to instill moral guidelines in children, to raise them in a spirit of respect for their own culture, ready to defend national interests and to create for the prosperity of Russia.
Our strength lies in our centuries-old history, our unique cultural heritage, and in the friendship of the peoples who call Russia their home. This is a priceless asset that we must carefully preserve and pass on from generation to generation.
I wish you well-being, confidence in the future, and new achievements!
Sergey Kravtsov
Minister of Education of the Russian Federation
