The representatives of the Ministry of Education and Science of Tatarstan, Elabuga Institute of KFU and municipal authority of the regions of Tatarstan discussed different issues at the meeting of the School Board.

Angel Fatakhov, Minister of Education and Science of Tatarstan, a substitute of Prime Minister of Tatarstan was the chairman of the meeting.

Elena Merzon, Director of Elabuga Institute of KFU, gave her report devoted to the main activity characteristics of the institute during 2015 and the projects being worked out by the teaching staff.

One of the most important projects of the institute, which was finished in 2015, is considered to be the State Contract of the Ministry of Education and Science of Tatarstan “Intensification of Practice-Oriented Training of Future Teachers Who Graduate the University with the Bachelor’s Degree on “Teacher’s Training Education”. The results were announced by Professor Vladislav Vinogradov

The ideas of enhancing the educational level of students offered by E. Merzon, were approved by the representatives of the School Board.According to Angel Fatakhov, Elabuga Institute justifies hopes providing Tatarstan with highly-qualified teachers. He promised that the innovative projects offered by the institute are going to be supported by the Ministry of Education and Science of Tatarstan. Among these projects are “The International Forum of Makhmutov”, “The International Festival of School Teachers”, and others.

The Minister of Education and Science of Tatarstan strongly recommended the Teacher’s Training College Directors of Menzelinsk, Nizhnekamsk and Naberezhnie Chelny to communicate with Elabuga Institute of KFU since nowadays teachers are required to have a Higher Education Diploma and the qualification of the 6th level. Those who presented at the meeting showed their interest in further collaboration and expressed their gratitude towards the institute authority and staff for seminars for teachers and the opportunity to take part in different forums organized by the institute for teachers and their students. By the way, a department of Chemistry and Biology was opened at the institute 2 years ago. It shows schools need teachers of Chemistry and Biology. Many school and college directors found the project “Applied Pedagogics” very interesting.

Talking to the representatives of the municipal authority, E. Merzon offered to examine an opportunity to use the system of municipal crediting for the employees of the educational institutions.

In return the Region Heads offered E. Merzon to organize in the institute the Tatar language courses for the Tatars living in different regions of the Russian Federation. It seems to be very important for these people to keep their culture, traditions and mother tongue.

E. Merzon also noted that the innovative projects also included teachers’ tuition. She also stressed the problem that does exist and should be solved. There is no any magistracy for new qualifications. She also pointed out that even if it was opened, it would not be free of charge. Angel Fatakhov, Minister of Education and Science of Tatarstan, supported the idea of financing the project with the help of the program “Algarish”.

The First Pro-rector of KFU Riyaz Minzaripov pointed out that Elabuga Institute had done a lot in solving this problem. He said, ‘Elabuga Institute is an advanced post of teacher’s training education in the eastern part of Russia. On behalf of the Rector of KFU I wish the teaching staff good luck in their further work’.

At the end of the meeting Airat Kaviev, Deputy Director, was awarded with a Honorary Diploma by the Minister of Education and Science of Tatarstan.
