In the course of appeal to deputies of the Legislative Assembly of the Chelyabinsk Region Alexey Tevesler I paid special attention to achievements in the field of education. So the governor spoke about the beginning of the decisive stage of the construction of a world -class inter -cavalry campus (the completion of construction is expected in 2027), the opening of youth scientific laboratories and jointly with the leading representatives of the industry of high -tech faculties (“Mechanical Engineering and Technology” together with the Konar and Mechatronics and Robotics, jointly PJSC “Chkpz”).
“We are forming a new innovative environment for our schools. Already today we are developing the concept of the advanced, flagship school of the federal level for the integrated development of talented youth. Thus, in fact, we create the Watch of Picture for gifted children at all levels of education in the Vchelyabinsk region “– said Alexey Tevesler.
The South Ural State University is actively involved in the creation and development of the system of governor engineering classes, and opens specialized classes in schools in the region together with industrial partners. Already in September, the first students will accept the engineering classes in the schools of Chelyabinsk, Miass and Chebarkul, opened together with the Ural Automobile Plant as part of a grant from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation. The accumulated experience and competencies will allow the university to support the initiatives of the regional government in terms of fulfilling the instructions of the President of Russia and the creation of the flagship school of the federal level.
Among the achievements of the region in the IT sector, the opening of the School 21 from Sberbire, whose campus is located in the South Ural University of Sberburation, was noted. Just the other day, the fifth set of listeners began training there.
“Our university is traditionally at the forefront of the technological development of the region and the country. We are sincerely grateful to Alexei Leonidovich and the government of the Chelyabinsk region for high trust, provided as part of the implementation of strategic regional education and science projects, – shared the rector Alexander Wagner– There are many plans, ambitious goals have been set and there is a clear understanding of how we will achieve them. “.
Based on the results of the appeal, the governor will be given instructions to relevant departments to continue the work on the implementation of strategic projects in the framework of the development of Chelyabinsk and the region as a whole.
