Abstract: The subject of the present research is the problems of education in remoted settlements located in hard-to-reach places such as northern and Arctic regions. In addition, the authors of the research article discuss the problems of educating nomadic groups that are involved in their traditional activity and therefore migrate from one place to another. Based on the practical experience of the researchers of the Krasnoyarsk State Pedagogical University named after V. Astafiev, the authors offer particular ways to organize distance education for those who live in remote regions and have limited or no access to the Internet. The methodology of the research involves field researches that have been carried out in the areas of compact settlement of indigenous groups in the Krasnoyarsk Krai since 2010 up to 2014. The results of the field researches have been summarized and presented as the conclusions of the present research article. The authors have also applied the method of the critical analysis of expert and information messages and scientific review of topical sources on the matter. The authors offer the model of distance education in hard-to-reach northern settlements of the Krasnoyarsk Krai where eight ethnocultural groups considered to be indigenous peoples of the Krasnoyarsk Krai live. The authors offer the project and recommendations on how to improve the quality of education in northern and Arctic regions of the Russian Federation.
