The key facts

  • Putin instructed the presidential administration and the government to work out a separate program for SVO participants without higher education
  • It should become an analogue of the personnel training program

New program for fighters without higher education

Russian President Vladimir Putin, at a meeting with members of the government, proposed creating a separate training and recruitment program for SVO participants who do not have a completed higher education, by analogy with the personnel program reports Gazeta.Ru citing Interfax.

The essence of the proposal

According to the president, there are many servicemen on the line of combat contact without a completed higher education, and for this category of fighters the state must also create conditions so that they can realize their abilities in civilian service.

The publication does not report on the timeline for launching the new program or its specific content — for now, the matter concerns a directive for the presidential administration and the government to work out its creation.
