Only 19% of Migrant Children Admitted to Russian Schools

In Russia, only 19 percent of children from migrant families have been able to enroll in schools. Authorities report that the overwhelming majority of applicants were rejected due to insufficient proficiency in the Russian language and errors in their parents' documentation.

A mandatory testing requirement for migrant children seeking admission to Russian schools was established on April 1 of this year. According to official data, the primary component of the assessment is language proficiency, which has resulted in many children failing to meet the set threshold.

Officials emphasize that this measure is intended to maintain the quality of the educational environment and to effectively organize the integration process for children.
