RUSSIA

The Russia Program is managed by Junior Achievement Russia (JAR) and has grown
rapidly since it became part of JA in 2004. The Program's schools have expanded beyond
our original 32 classrooms in St. Petersburg and Moscow to cities across Russia from the Baltic to Vladivostok on the Sea of Japan. In November 2007 there were 78,883 students in 1,772 schools studying the new curriculum developed by the GTTP. Called PASSPORT TO THE WORLD: An Introduction to Travel & Tourism, it was launched in the fall of 2005 and has been translated into Russian, as well as Spanish, Portuguese and Magyar..

Russian teachers also participated in extensive teaching seminars, learning
about new methodologies and about the new curriculum, which is offered in both
Russian and English.
