74 Section 10. Case 4: The Case Studies Russian Federation Overview Russia offers an example of the systematic inclusion and enhancement of DRR at full scale in the core curriculum through a carrying subject and also through infusion in all other subjects. Russia also features strong regional adaptation strategies. Basics of Life Security is the main carrier subject matter, with cooperation between the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Emergencies to define curriculum content. Clear cross-curricular DRR knowledge, skills and learning outcomes are also included in other subject matters. Introduction The Russian Federation is a Federal State with 83 members of the Federation, all having a high level of autonomy in local adaptation of Federal programmes, including in the education system. Regarding DRR, the full integration of DRR into school curricula is supported by the Federal Programme Risk Reduction and Mitigation for Natural and Technological Disasters in the Russian Federation by 2015. The programme is the third phase of programme development following an initial one from 2000- 2005, and a second phase from 2005-2010. The Federal Ministry of Emergency Situations is the overall coordinator of this federal initiative while the Ministry of Education is responsible for implementing its education component (Government of Russia: Integrated Federal Programme Information Service). The programme is based on a legal and regulatory federal framework (compulsory) and has the full support of the federal governmental level for local implementation by municipal and regional education structures (recognition of better implementation by local authorities being a lesson learned from earlier phases). The key objective of the programme is the ‘increased capacity of students, in full obedience with regional particularities, in the area of life security and organisation of the protection of the population’ (ibid, 8, 30, 40, 47, 75, 79, 97). There are eleven school years in Russia, the cumulative impact of grades 1 to 11 is considered to comprise a full secondary education. Primary education can be compared to grades 1 to 4, while secondary education can be compared to grades 5 to 11. The compulsory subject matters taught to pupils throughout the full secondary education cycle are the following: Basics of Life Security; Biology; Civic Education; Chemistry; Fine Arts; Foreign Languages; Geography; History; Literature; Mathematics; Physical Education; Physics; Russian Language; Social Studies; Technology. DRR has a key carrying subject and is also infused across other subjects. The key carrier is Basics of Life Security, taught at least through grades 7 to 9 but from grades 5 to 9 in some regions (equivalent to secondary education). An additional facultative programme is also available for grades 10 and 11. Basics of Life Security is mainly managed by the Ministry of Emergency Situations. As infused in other subjects such as Fine Arts, Technology, Physical Education, Geography and Physics, it is managed by the Ministry of Education. There are specific learning outcomes that must be addressed in some subjects but there are also cross-curricula learning outcomes (General Russian Curricula Standards) 21 . Curriculum Development/Integration Basics of Life Security is a subject in its own right but is included in other subjects. As outlined in Ministry of Education documentation 22 its organization is as follows: Informative and methodological function: allowing all students to receive common training on the goals, contents and main strategies of DRR. Organization and planning function: allotment by moments throughout the learning of the subject matter with teaching materials by modules organised in chapters and themes with specific evaluations involving cross-curricula references 21 http://standart.edu.ru/catalog.aspx?CatalogId=2659 22 Methodological Letter on education of the education subject matter Basics of Life Security http://www.adu.by/modules.php?name=News&file=categori es&op=newindex&catid=272 Disaster Risk Reduction in School Curricula: Case Studies from Thirty Countries
