Following the “liquidation” of the dollar, Iran decided to abandon the English language
On April 18, it became known that Iran refused the dollar in foreign trade operations, and on April 19, the Russian news agencies TASS and Interfax issued a statement by the Minister of Education and Education Seyed Mohammad Batkhai, who expressed his intention to replace English as a second foreign language in the country's educational system by other languages, including Russian.
«Policy the government of [Iran] in the field of education is to break the monopoly of English as a second foreign language and to connect other foreign languages, in particular Russian, ”said Seyed Mohammad Batkhai. He emphasized that cooperation in the linguistic sphere between the two countries should take place on a bilateral basis.
The Iranian minister also announced the start of negotiations on this issue with the Russian Ministry of Education and Science. The parties agreed to create a working group, which should prepare a memorandum of understanding on the topic under discussion, and the subsequent implementation of the provisions of the future memorandum.
Vyacheslav Nikonov, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Education and Science, after a meeting with which Iranian Minister of Education and Education Seyed Mohammad Batkhai made his statement, supported the Iranian initiative:
According to Vyacheslav Nikonov, the Farsi spoken by the Iranians is currently being studied in a number of Russian higher education institutions, and it is necessary to think about how to introduce Farsi into the practice of educational institutions, in some of which, for example, the Chinese language is already being studied.
In fact, the Iranian authorities intend to attempt to reset one of the most important secondary information codes of Iranian society. Meanwhile, the experience of such a reboot, and double, is already available in China.
After the proclamation of the PRC in 1949, the Russian language was studied in Chinese secondary and higher educational institutions as a compulsory discipline, the number of Chinese learning the Russian language exceeded 68 million people.
However, in the 1970s, against the backdrop of the aggravation of Sino-Soviet relations, English became the leading foreign language studied in China. However, in the provinces of Northeast China, interest in learning the Russian language is traditionally high, and more than 74% of young people, according to recent polls, want to learn Russian.
At present, in Iran, the departments of the Russian language and literature exist in approximately 10 universities, operating not only in the capital, Tehran, but also in several provinces, including Mazanderan, Gilan, Khorasan, Isfahan.
In 2012, the Iranian Association of Russian Language and Literature was founded, headed by Dr. Janollah Karimi-Motahhar, professor of the Department of Russian Language and Literature of the Faculty of Foreign Languages of Tehran University, the author of translations of Farsi, Pushkin, Chekhov, Tolstoy, Bunin.
