Abstract

The relevance of the problem considered in the article is due to the need to provide qualified personnel for investment megaprojects in the Arctic region, while preserving the traditional culture, language, values of life of the indigenous peoples of the North. The article uses qualitative and quantitative methods of sociological research conducted by the authors in 2016-2017 on the territory of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous district of the Tyumen region of Russia: mass surveys of northerners, highlighting among them the indigenous peoples of the North, in-depth interviews of experts and others. The analysis of scientific domestic and foreign literature on the subject of the study, including the study of Russian and foreign educational practices of different levels in the Arctic regions, allowed to assess the existing level of training of qualified personnel for the Arctic. The possible directions of improvement of the system of ethno-regional education are substantiated, the assessment of satisfaction of representatives of aboriginal ethnic groups with the system of General and professional education, its compliance with the desired future for their children is given. According to the results of the study, the following conclusions are made. General and professional ethno-regional education of different levels of the Arctic zone of Russia needs long-term state and non-state support, including corporate and public, related to the prospective modernization of its entire system. It is necessary to strengthen the interaction of universities and other educational organizations with companies that participate in the neo-industrial development of the Arctic, including with the aim of expanding the training of specialists in industries related to the traditional life of indigenous Northern ethnic groups. Ethnoregional education in the Arctic region should be considered, based on the standards adopted by UNESCO for minority groups, as an inclusive education, having a status different from other educational organizations, taking into account the smallness of the majority of schools of Arctic settlements and nomads. At the same time, it is necessary to expand the range of educational trajectories of young people of indigenous peoples of the North.
