The order was signed by the head of the Ministry of Education of the region Olga Petrova.

“Now this tradition will be fixed.

Raising the flag will also be a special encouragement for children who have achieved significant results in their studies, social life, sports, art and science, ”RIA Novosti quotes a message from the government of the Nizhny Novgorod region.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has previously supported the idea of ​​hoisting the flag and singing the national anthem in schools.

At the same time, the head of state stressed that where this event cannot yet be organized at a decent level, it is better to postpone it.

Member of the State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans Affairs Svetlana Bessarab, in an interview with RT, expressed the opinion that this measure meets today's realities and is objectively necessary, since the anthem and the flag are what unites Russians.
