Shifting Identities

The main objective of the ethnic policy of the government of Kyrgyzstan in the post-Soviet era was a consolidation of all people and ethnic groups on the territory of the Republic into the Kyrgyzstani nation. Such a goal is important for any nation that has just gained independence, but for the Kyrgyz Republic it was an especially important task for several reasons. First, the multiethnic composition of the country: in 1991 the Kyrgyzs, or the titular nation of the Republic, constituted roughly 52% of the population, there were around 22% Russians, and the Uzbeks represented 13% of the population. Second, interethnic relations in the Republic were especially tense at the beginning of the 1990s because of the interethnic conflicts in the southern regions of the Republic in 1989 and 1990.1 Third, the Kyrgyzs themselves lacked national cohesiveness and they often defined themselves as members of different tribes or tribal groups with distinct dialects, dress, and political affiliations.

The research featured the new social requirements for subject teachers, as well as the legal basis for the changes that have occurred in the education system of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan. The study focused on the current situation in Kyrgyz schools and universities, the development of new teaching technologies, and the new educational literature. The education system of Kyrgyzstan includes two large concepts. One of them is updating the content of subject knowledge corresponding to the required competencies. The second concept is the individualization of subject knowledge. These concepts are important in the framework of the Law of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan "On the Manas Epic" adopted in 2011. Previously, the content of education was based on the level of requirements for the young generation and was determined by the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic that developed curricula for all educational institutions. However, subject teachers have to change their materials, taking into account the social and intellectual interests of the individual. The article introduces priority tasks that create the necessary conditions for the development of learners' personality. This goal was financed by the state budget in the Republic of Kyrgyzstan. The author believes that the new credit technology is to be adopted with caution, and that the Kyrgyz educational system can use some educational technologies tested in Russia, e.g. critical thinking development; developmental education; health saving technologies; problem learning; gaming; workshop technology; case method; integrated learning in class, etc. Subject teachers are responsible for updating the educational literature in connection with the new requirements.

This study discusses about ethnocultural problems and policies in the Republic of Tatarstan, Russia with a complex multiethnic population in a condition of balance between the two main ethnic groups, namely Russians and Tatars. In addition, there are historical and ideological views for ethnocultural policy formation in Tatarstan, positive and negative trends in the field of interethnic relations. The author focuses on aspects of ethnocultural policy implementation such as the implementation of the right to receive ethnocultural education and preservation of indigenous languages, support for traditional folk culture, interaction with public ethnic associations, etc. In addition, it also looks at how the legislative and regulatory framework is applied in the ethnocultural policy area. The results of this study illustrate that the existence of a situation in the field of inter-ethnic relations can indicate the end of the ethnocentric policy model in areas that are in favor of the Tatar community in the current conditions of multiculturalism. In this case there are people or groups who feel dissatisfied on both sides of the policies taken so that the interests of other ethnic groups in the region also receive less attention, such as: Chuvash, Mordovia, Mari, Armenian, etc. This can lead to the radicalization of these ethnic groups.

Ethnic Policy

Many of the world's political analysts who have contributed to the theory and study of contradictions and crises, they agree that today, unlike the past, the main sources of conflicts and crises on the global level are not the economy. But the main source of challenges and contradictions is ethnic, cultural conflict and many of the countries that were born in the past with a painful process of nation-building. Now they have been questioned as a national unit, and the moves of ethnicity and separatism have absorbed them. Purpose: Attention to traditional and ethnic structures and the entry and presence of the government in the field of policy and political management of tribal diversity in Iran, which has been followed up by regulating ethnicity, state, and supervision of the movements of the ethnic groups (Jenkins, Richard, 1997). Method: The practices and methods and rules have been examined by governments and regulating their interactions and relations with their relatives and their management and policy. As a result, Iran is described as a tumultuous society in which various ethnic and tribal groups have been in constant conflict with the state and with each other.

Using Data

Improving interethnic relations in conflict-affected societies is a difficult task, as a complex repertoire of mutual views and reactions is developed. Furthermore, the experiences of the children in such situations have rarely been taken into perspective. Therefore, this study tries to address this research gap by using data from the Republic of North Macedonia, where interethnic tensions are still present between ethnic Macedonians and ethnic Albanians, although the violent outburst of the conflict ended in 2001. The paper is focused on perceptions of contact and conflict among primary aged children, and their relations with the outgroup attitudes such as liking, trusting, and wanting to play with children from the outgroup. A total of 194 children aged 6 to 11 (M = 8.4) participated in the research, filling play-like items using Qualtrics. The sample was taken from two schools with a mixed language of instruction and was balanced for ethnicity (45.9% Macedonian, 54.1% Albanian) as well as gender (57.7% female, 42.3% male). The results of the series of regression analyses show that the contact quality and a number of outgroup friends are significantly correlated with outgroup liking, willingness to play, and outgroup trust, while the perception of conflict is negatively correlated with outgroup trust. The interaction between age and the contact quantity is a significant predictor of willingness to play with the outgroup, while the interaction between majority status and contact quantity is a significant predictor of outgroup trust. The study highlights the need for a meaningful contact between children from both ethnic groups for improvement of interethnic relations.
