Russian-kazakh schools in the system of state administration

Abstract

The article presents exploring the place of Russian-Kazakh schools in the system of managing of the Steppe Region at the beginning of the XXth cent. The author explains, how the Russian-Kazakh and "aul school" (which was a separate kind of "other-ethnic-school", specially adapted to the economic and living conditions of the nomadic society) performed as a function of acculturation of the indigenous population. During the consideration of the legislative regulation of educational process in "other-ethnic-colleges' the author pays attention to intersection of interests of the ministries, which controlled the educational policy in Akmola and Semipalatinsk regions. Analyzing the legislative base of educational integration, the process of construction of Russian-Kazakh schools, the author reveals the presence of different interests of the Ministry of public education and the Ministry of internal Affairs. On the one hand, it is the inclusion of the Steppe Region in the imperial education system. On the other hand, it is a priority of ethnic and religious specificity and containment of Kazakh religious activity. The author demonstrates the role of the Russian-Kazakh school in the policy of russification of the region and the interest of administrative structures in the implementation of the Russian language as a language of modernization.
