Svetlana Bertov: Difference between revisions

Svetlana, being a member of the Bertov family, became very influential among Communist and [[Wikipedia:Stalinism|Vanguarist]] circles in her home country, which critics of her have pointed to as a reason for her fame being undeserved, referring to her and her family as '''Red Royalty''': a derogatory term associated with the families of communist leaders of Durakia. However, she has reliably been shown to act of her own merit through her actions in the Kansol Students' Union as well as her articles in the Avorgrad: the radical leftist newspaper. She also co-authored the report: "''Classrooms and Class: A Study of Students in Novaris"'', In which her, Vladimir Ansof and Walter Brauner performed participant observation studies in schools across the continent - including [[Tretrid]], [[Alyunthia]], [[Cryria]], [[Kuthernburg]], [[Varleuteiche|Varletia]] and [[Ekvatora]] - comparing how Social Class influences the results, treatment and behaviour of their Students. The report was rather popular amongst the Sociologists for it's detailed quantitative data and use of ethnographic methodology. While it did take an inherently negative look, it noted how material deprivation has become much less of a factor in Novari Schools, while subconscious discrimination of teachers towards working class students is still a key issue that needs to be addressed in order to create a truly equal education system. This report was especially notable in [[Tretrid]], where it would be taken into consideration by the Tretridian goveenment in it's continued efforts to reform education to allow more equality. Bertov herself, alongside Brauner, visited the city of CyneburgCynebury to speak on the findings of this report and how these results may be implemented by the Social Democrat led government of Tretrid.
