The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), is currently debating the topic of Providing Access to Unbiased Education in Crimea, or are they really? There are only a few delegates actually on topic and are contributing to the debate of providing unbiased education in Crimea.
The Russian delegate told the AFP that much of the committee is off topic and that they should be addressing topics more related to education in Crimea. The delegate states that, the delegates should be talking about removing sanctions against Russia in Crimea instead of talking about balancing Russian and Crimean culture or even who owns Crimea at this point.
Multiculturalism seems to have a huge debate surrounding it, but is this topic that relevant to education? The Russian delegate points out that delegates in UNESCO aren’t even talking about multiculturalism in Crimea, they are talking about multiculturalism in Russia. Delegates believe that if there is enough multiculturalism in Crimea, then the education system in Crimea would be magically fixed. This simply is not and cannot be true.
According to the delegate of Canada: “There is an unhealthy amount of insults thrown at Russia.” Most of these insults surfaced because delegates believe that Russia shouldn’t own Crimea. Even these insults are off topic, yet the committee doesn’t understand how off topic they are.
Although this committee may be mostly off topic, there are a couple delegates are are hell bent on reverting this committee back on track. For example, the delegate of Canada has proposed that Non Government Organizations (NGOs) should open private schools in Crimea so that there could be unbiased education in Crimea. However, there are only a couple other delegates following Canada’s path.
Currently, delegates are working on coming to resolution; however, with all the off topic points, not many people know how well such resolution will turn out.
