The head of state said this during a meeting of the Council for Science and Education. 

As the Russian leader noted, domestic education needs to pay special attention to those subjects that form a full-fledged personality and a patriot of their country.

At the same time, Putin noted that Russia also needs good specialists.

“A patriotic attitude alone is not enough for a country to be successful; both are needed,” he emphasized.

Earlier, Vladimir Putin announced the demand for veterans of the Northern Military District in the field of educating young people.
