The key person in the Savings Bank today threw a cobblestone garden in natural science education. According to German Gref, specialized mathematical school "is a relic of the past". Mr. Gref believes, that in today's Russia can not be a school, in which "students are stuffed with a subject".
Already one of the only statements Gref, made at the international forum "Open Innovation", we can conclude, that the head of Sberbank incompetent in the matter, which tries to discuss. Never in the Soviet and Russian specialized mathematical school students "do not stuffed" with a single subject - mathematics. Yes, Mathematical hour training program is much larger, than in a normal school, but this does not mean, that students from morning till evening "shtudiruet" only one thing "without the right to humanitarian sphere".
Going back to the saying Gref (leads portal "Vesti. Economy"):
When we are trying to say, that we are going to develop specialty “Mathematics” and “programmer”, we will get exactly the same trap, as we had some time ago with the lawyers and economists. Students should be developed uniformly, on 360 degrees. We need all the specialty, we need people of all gifts and talents. And we do not need math school. To my mind, a relic of the past. I am a categorical opponent of mathematical schools. So it was in the Soviet Union, and it seems to me, it's not a very good experience.
"It seems," Mr. Gref, actually, this is the problem of Mr. Gref.
Soviet mathematical school gave a galaxy of outstanding scientists, on a mathematical basis, established that, until now the industry has kept, technological sphere. And even the smartphone, which today enjoys Mr. Gref, It operates on the principles of, designed and implemented by representatives of the world of mathematical schools (in the broadest sense of the word).
When the head of Sberbank says, that we need, "people of all talents", then who can argue? But not solve Gref, worthy mathematical school's right to exist, or not. Or is it Gref is going to bring his idea of "unclaimed" mathematicians and programmers to Minprosveta and the head of state?
