Up to 680 hours will be allocated over two years for the education of high school students according to the new educational standard. Starting September 1, 2027, a new federal state educational standard for high school will enter into force in Russia. It provides up to 680 hours of extracurricular activities over two years of study. As the head of the Ministry of Education Sergey Krabtsov said in an interview with Interfax, the main task is the harmonious development of the personality of the school students, strengthening their mental health and physical education. They plan to pay special attention to traditional Russian spiritual and moral values, to the history of the country, as well as to the formation of cultural and civic identity. At the same time, according to the minister, educational work should not be limited to holidays and one-time events. It should become part of everyday school life, both in and out of the classroom.
