Abstract

The article discusses the mechanisms of realization of the strategy of national policy in the sphere of general education. Major cities in Russia have always had a multinational (multiethnic) composition of the population, but in the last twenty years the problems of education and socialization of children of different nationalities have intensified in connection with the mass migration flows. Today the organs of social management need to know the problems in the modern conditions of the schools with a multinational structure, which are involved in education, upbringing and mutual adaptation of children of different ethnicity. School leaders noted that the administrative requirements for mandatory registration of migrant children and their parents transferred the activities of the institutions of educational in the plane of the Supervisory functions. Numerous inspections and monitoring hinder the normal development of the educational process. For example, the experience of schools working with migrant children, the analysis of specific organizational and content ways of teaching Russian language as non-native, mutual psychological adaptation and harmonization of interethnic relations among students of different nationalities. In the article we substantiate the need for special criteria for evaluating the activities of the multinational schools for recognition of their experimental sites, and the need for education coordinating Council for such educational institutions, financial, legal, methodological and material support of these schools, as well as the dissemination of their experience to other educational institutions. Specific proposals for governments and multinational schools to improve the work with migrant children are formulated.
