School education

edit

Mikhail Kazinik considers it necessary to carry out the reform of school education both in Russia and in the world. In his opinion, the modern school forms a "clip thinking" in the child, since he receives disparate knowledge in different subjects that is not interconnected.[7][23][24] In his opinion, the school "filled their heads like a bag of straw, stuffed with a bunch of information, 90% of which they would never need, and did not give the paradigm of knowledge, thirst for knowledge, craving for knowledge, a way of knowing through culture, through art, through mathematics".[25]

Mikhail Kazinik realizes his vision of school education in the Chelyabinsk private school "7 keys", where children learn according to his method of "complex-wave lessons".[26] Classes are held in a game form.[27] Another experiment to create the "School of the Future" he conducts in Vyksa.[23][28] In October 2017, in Tyumen, according to the methodology of Kazinik, the School of the Future "Culture" opened, which lasted until April next year.[29][30]
