The relevant department added that the Federal Institute of Native Languages of the Peoples of Russia, as part of fulfilling its state assignment, prepared original text manuscripts (drafts) of textbooks for four state languages of the republics of the country: Komi, Tuvan, Chuvash, and Sakha (Yakut). In total, over the course of the year, manuscripts for 54 textbooks in six native and four state languages, as well as 13 methodological guides for teachers, have been prepared. The original layouts of 45 textbooks (including electronic forms) and ten methodological guides for ten languages of the peoples of the Russian Federation are undergoing additional verification and will be sent for expertise, the ministry noted. This year, activities such as the expertise of the prepared textbooks, their refinement, preparation for release, and inclusion in the federal list of textbooks are planned.
