RN-Purneftegaz (part of the Rosneft oil and gas production complex) summed up the results of a grant competition for scientific, educational and research projects aimed at solving social issues of the indigenous peoples of the North living in the Purovsky District of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. The winner of the competition was a project to develop teaching aids for children in the language of the Forest Nenets, presented by the National Research University Higher School of Economics.
The project includes the development of a teaching aid and a simulator for online learning, as well as the publication of a book for reading and a workbook for completing practical assignments for elementary grades.
The language of the Forest Nenets is characterized by a complex system of rules for constructing and changing words. With the participation of linguists, it is planned to develop a methodological base, test questions and answers, on the basis of which teachers will be able to form tasks of varying degrees of complexity. An online trainer will help children complete homework, as well as practice declension and conjugation forms for correct word formation.
Currently, the language of the Forest Nenets is endangered and is spoken by about a thousand people. The language of the Forest Nenets differs significantly from the language of the Tundra Nenets, which is spoken by most of the indigenous people of Yamal. The grant project of RN-Purneftegaz is aimed at preserving the unique language and national identity of the Forest Nenets.
With the support of RN-Purneftegaz, a project to develop the practice of preparing children for school directly in the places where families live – in nomadic kindergartens – has already been successfully implemented. Based on the results of a scientific study conducted by the Yakut branch of the Federal Institute of Native Languages, a collection of methodological materials “Trends in nomadic education” was compiled. It included development programs in the Nenets language, unique practices and lesson plans for pre-school preparation of pupils of nomadic groups of northern peoples. Training was also conducted for educators working in nomadic kindergartens of the district. The project made it possible to select new methods and forms of organizing pre-school education for children from nomadic families.
Preservation of the national culture of the indigenous peoples of the North and their traditional way of life is one of the significant areas of Rosneft’s social policy. The Company’s enterprises implement many social projects in the regions of their operations, develop the infrastructure of northern villages, help reindeer herder families, improve the material and technical base of educational institutions, social and medical facilities in the areas of original residence of indigenous peoples.
