Education in Siberia
Encyclopedia
Education in Siberia expanded greatly after the Trans-Siberian Railway
was completed in the 19th century. While Siberia
became part of Russia
in the 18th century it was not until the 20th century under the Soviet Union
that education was transformed Siberia to economic importance. This was aimed at uniting the people under the Soviet. For example, the Irkutsk State Linguistic University
served as "as a conduit between Russia and these native peoples by teaching languages" during the communist era.http://www.sras.org/sub_program.phtml?m=31 Imperial Russia began uniting Siberia to Russia by founding Siberia's first university, Tomsk State University
, in 1878.
As teaching language helped to connected Siberia with Russia, currently there is a high demand for English to connect Siberia to the outside world. The Siberian Intercultural Bridges helps place English teachers throughout Siberia to bridge the gap between the Western world
and the remote areas of Siberia.http://www.siberian-bridges.org/Homepage/index.html Meanwhile, the Russia
n government has also been encouraging English teachers to educate the population.http://www.jobs.languagelink.ru/
Currently, higher education in Siberia has sought to revive the regional culture. Kemerovo State University
has specialized in Shor language
to increase usage and document the language's history in Siberia.
