Starting April 2025, Russia will implement Russian language tests for migrant children.

Starting from April 2025, a new procedure for admitting children will come into effect in Russian schools. One of the key innovations will be mandatory testing in the Russian language for migrant children. This decision, enshrined in the law signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, aims to ensure quality education and facilitate the successful integration of migrant children into Russian society.

The purpose of introducing the testing is to assess the proficiency of the Russian language among children entering Russian schools and to determine their readiness for instruction in Russian. The testing will help create a more favorable learning environment for both the migrant children themselves and their classmates.

Children who do not achieve a sufficient number of points will not be admitted to Russian schools.
