Gymnazium Union of Russia

The Gymnazium Union of Russia (Russian: Гимнази́ческий Союз Росси́и) is a government-backed open network of Russian gymnaziums, lyceums and secondary schools.

The Union was introduced by Andrei Fursenko, the Russian Education Minister, on November 6, 2007, at a major conference in education held at Saint Petersburg State University.[1][2]

The Union is sponsored and broadly supported by the Russian Foundation for Education Support, a Gazprom's non-profit foundation.[3] It makes a part of the National Priority Projects and is directly supported by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev[3] and the Russian Ministry of Education.[1][3][4]

The infrastructure of the Union relies on videoconferencing and allows to hold discussion meetings between member schools, befriended universities and research institutions, and the headquarters of the Foundation for Education Support.[3]

As of early April 2008, the Union brings together about 100 schools in all seven federal Russian districts and rapidly grows.[3]
