The State Duma called for the criminal procedure law to be returned to schools in order to cure young people of "everyday disability".
According to a study by analysts, almost 80% of young Russians between the ages of 18 and 35 are unable to hang a shelf or change a faucet by themselves; Among the older generations there are fewer "disabled persons in the household".
The head of the State Duma Committee for the Protection of the Family, Nina Ustenina, told the Vodium publication that "these data are very eloquent", older people learned homework at home and at school, where "there were work education classes", while young people rely more on the Internet, but network outages showed that "we need to return to real life".
"When we brought back work classes, there was so much noise! Now that the internet has stopped being accessible to us, we need to go back to real life. Therefore, it is absolutely correct if today's mothers and fathers attend master classes with their children. Well, there is no need to oppose having work classes in our schools. The return of this good system to the school, something that was promised 30 years ago, will only be for the better. It would be good if there were still training and production plants, as they were during the Soviet Union, so that they could go, observe and teach seriously."
Ustanina noted that of course you can hire workers for the housework, "but money doesn't always determine everything" and "it's much more pleasant to do something yourself."
In educational and manufacturing plants in the Soviet Union, high school students underwent initial training and acquired basic skills in professions such as turner, mechanic, seamstress, cook and others.
