In Udmurtia pioneers studying chemistry are the pupils of the eighth grade school N 1 named after Nadezhda Krupskaya in Kambarka. Here the former factory for chemical weapons destruction plan to repurpose the recycling facility, the first and second classes of hazard.
Minister of education and science of the Udmurt Republic Svetlana Bolotnikova believes that the emergence of Mendeleev’s classes will help to prepare for such enterprises, highly qualified specialists directly on the ground, which in the future will affect the development of the industrial potential of the region.
– Given that processing trade is developing actively now, we understand that chemists, physicists, technologists is a sought-after specialty, she says. Even if our students will not enroll in the leading universities of the country, at least professionally defined. We will work to promote the implementation of the project may in the future distribute experience across the country. I hope that the graduates of these classes, graduating from a higher educational institution, will get high-tech and well-paid jobs. By the way, our task is these places to prepare to have specialists, they once again returned to Udmurtia.
In turn, Maxim Korolkov, Deputy General Director for environmental projects FSUE “Federal environmental operator” (a company that will be engaged in the restructuring of the factory in Kambarka. – Approx. ed.), added that they will organize educational activities for the children at the enterprises that students have seen how modern technology, and could apply their knowledge not only in theory but in fact.
in addition, the government of the Republic, Udmurt state University, Russian chemical-technological University named by Mendeleev (RCTU) signed an agreement on cooperation in the sphere of improvement of General education in the field of natural Sciences, support of talented pupils and forming of professionally oriented students.
– Chemical industry of Russia is developing very quickly. New industries emerge, for example waste management, which require highly qualified professionals. For the country as a whole is a challenge – training. And you need to start preparing already at school. The profession of the chemical engineer extremely popular, interesting and highly paid. Our universities have science parks, laboratories equipped with modern equipment, on the basis of their students will be able to carry out their first research projects. Admission to the participating institutions of the consortium for graduates Mendeleev classes will be preferential. We can add up to 10 points for project work for the exam. After Wu��and our graduates will be guaranteed to work, – said the rector of the University Alexander Mazhuga.
in the Kirov region In the framework of a pilot project for in-depth study of the chemistry of selected secondary school of the village of peace Orichevsky district. The choice is made due to the fact that close – in Maradykovo – will be built at the facility for processing industrial waste. Thus, students will have the opportunity to get acquainted with the “big chemo”, and how in such cases to solve problems with the environment.
In the future, the project will cover other school of Vyatka. Given that the region was formed and for many years has a serious biotech cluster, Mendeleev classes can be regarded as the elementary school, which will be the training of potential staff for him.
Students Mendeleev classes will be able to participate in webinars on chemistry and mathematics with high school teachers, undergo laboratory workshops. And school teachers involved in this educational process, will be trained for professional development. Classes participating in the project, will be equipped with didactic materials, chemical reagents for laboratory work, consisting of Mendeleev Box. Provided outreach activities to explore the faculty and research centers involved in the project. The best graduates upon completion of training, will receive privileges at receipt in higher education institutions in the consortium “Advanced Environmental technologies”.
According to Vice-rector for international activity of Moscow state University (Vyatgu), Sergey Fomin, the University has already joined the process and developed their proposals for inclusion of additional materials in the program of chemistry and mathematics for students Mendeleev classes. In research laboratories Vyatgu students will be able to pull not only theoretical knowledge but also to engage in projects together with students.
to Those guys who see their future in chemistry, chemical engineering, just do not have future in entertainment, he says. – Challenges faced by specialists in this industry give a huge range of options and directions where possible in the future to make their forces.
According to acting Director of the Institute of chemistry and ecology Vyatgu Denis Kazulin, participation in the project gives the opportunity to interest children in the subject, starting with lessons in traditional “wet chemistry” experiments with flasks and retorts to modern analytical equipment using high technology.
– This will give you the opportunity to love and chemistry as Mendeleev, make their first discovery, the scientist said.
implementation of the “Mendeleev classes” in the framework of the Federal scientific-educational consortium “Advanced Acutehnologie” is FSUE “Federal environmental operator” in cooperation with MUCTR Mendeleev. The project aims to improve the level of teaching chemistry and mathematics, building a network of cooperation with universities and enterprises, the organization of the system of pre-professional training, as well as the formation of a predictable vector of development of vocational guidance of schoolchildren.
