Prospects of education: Senators Lyubov Glebova and Andrei Klishas spoke at the IV Congress of the Russian Society "Knowledge"
Lyubov Glebova, Senator of the Russian Federation, Chair of
the Coordinating Council of the Russian Society "Knowledge" and
Andrey Klishas, Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Constitutional
Legislation and State Building, took part in the IV Congress of the Russian
Society "Knowledge" at the International RUSSIA EXPO, where the
updated charter of the main educational organization of the country was
approved and a number of other key decisions were made.
Senator of
the Russian Federation Lyubov Glebova opened the work of the Congress in her
capacity as Chair of the Coordinating Council of the Russian Society
"Znanie".
"In
October 2023, the Coordinating Council of the Russian Society
"Knowledge" decided to convene the IV Congress of the organization. General
meetings to elect delegates were held in all 89 regional branches of the
Russian Society "Knowledge". According to the registration data, 150
delegates from all over the country have registered and are present at the
event. I would like to note that the guests of today's event are heads of
regions, deputies of the State Duma, senators of the Russian Federation, heads
of federal executive authorities, representatives of the Presidential Executive
Office, representatives of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation - the key
partners of our organization. All this testifies to the demand for the work of
the Russian Society "Knowledge" and the great interest of
representatives of various spheres in educational activities as an important,
systematic state work", - said Senator Lyubov Glebova.
Chairman of
the Federation Council Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State
Building Andrei Klishas delivered a speech at the event. He described
how the state provides opportunities for educational activities, how the
legislation in this area is developing. Another important topic of the speech
was the role of the Society "Knowledge" as an all-Russian public and
state educational organization.
"Now
our society and the state are facing very serious challenges, many of them are
global in nature, and we will be able to defeat them, to give them a worthy
response only if there is unity between society and the state. And, of
course, achieving such unity is the main task of public authorities. The
constitutional amendments initiated by the President of Russia were largely
aimed at this. During the preparation of the new version of the Constitution,
Vladimir Vladimirovich very clearly oriented us to the fact that the basis for
our work, including legislative activity, is a public demand. Identifying and
formulating this demand is our joint task. Society "Knowledge" also
plays a significant role in this," said Andrei Klishas.
The senator
added that the "Knowledge" Society in many ways solves state tasks
within the framework of educational activities. This kind of status
organically combines public and governmental principles, assumes a significant
share of independence in choosing the conditions and content of educational
activities. As well as determining the specifics when it comes to certain
sectoral issues.
Andrei
Klishas emphasized that in the course of educational activities the priority
should always be given to the high quality, timeliness of information and
protection of Russians from unverified, false, misleading information.
"An important challenge of today is the need to
strengthen the system of protection of citizens from negative information
influences, including from abroad, and to ensure the realization of the rights
of citizens to receive adequate information and knowledge. In this regard, the
importance of educational activities as a special kind of mechanism capable of
solving the problems of the state and society through the dissemination of
knowledge, experience, formation of skills, abilities and values that ensure
the intellectual, spiritual and moral, creative, physical and professional
development of a person is sharply increasing," said Andrei Klishas.
Concluding
his speech, the Senator of the Russian Federation urged the participants of the
Congress to actively participate in the formation of state policy in the field
of educational activities.
"I am
sure that together we will continue to improve sectoral legislation in this
area," he concluded.
At the IV
Congress there was also a presentation of state awards for the contribution to
educational activities. Senator Andrei Klishas presented the Council of
Federation Gratitude to Firdus Aliyev, Managing Director of the Expert
Institute of Social Research on cooperation with the expert community. Also,
Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Constitutional Legislation and
State Building Andrei Klishas was appointed Chairman of the Scientific and
Methodological Council of the Russian Society "Knowledge".
The
International RUSSIA EXPO is the most important achievements of the country
gathered in one place. During the whole period of the Exposition, guests
are welcomed by cultural events, a rich business and educational program. The
expositions of 89 Russian regions, leading federal agencies, corporations and
public organizations are presented to the visitors.
