The Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University named after the first President of Russia B. N. Yeltsin (KRSU) and Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University demonstrate a unique format of strategic partnership in the field of higher education. The launch of joint educational programs, modernization of curricula, implementation of digital platforms and development of research infrastructure – all these areas have become part of the comprehensive work of the two universities aimed at creating a single educational space and training highly qualified personnel for the economies of Kyrgyzstan and Russia.
The next step in this direction was a working visit to the Saint Petersburg Polytechnic University by the Vice-Rector for Pre-University and Further Education of KRSU Elena Averkova. The main topic of the negotiations was the implementation of the roadmap for cooperation between universities, in particular, the launch of new joint educational projects. The meeting was attended by the Vice-Rector for Further and Pre-University Education of SPbPU Dmitry Tikhonov, the Head of the Directorate of Further Education and Industry Partnership Ivan Kurta and the Head of the Directorate of Pre-University Education and Talent Attraction Nikolay Snegirev.
The parties paid special attention to the development of cooperation in the field of pre-university education. Considering that KRSU has its own school, the possibilities of adapting St. Petersburg practices of working with schoolchildren in the educational space of Kyrgyzstan were discussed. To demonstrate the potential of SPbPU in this area, the delegation visited the SPbPU History Museum, the Research Building, the Open Education Center, and a laboratory for work in the direction of BAS with a modern simulator. Familiarization with the Polytechnic infrastructure laid the foundation for future joint projects on career guidance and preparation of applicants.
During the meeting, the participants noted the need to launch an engineering track based on the International Institute of Continuing Education and Personnel Engineering of KRSU under the coordination and expert support of SPbPU. This area is defined as a priority for joint work in the field of DPO and vocational training.
The new track will focus on the development and implementation of professional training, advanced training and professional retraining programs. These programs are designed to meet the current and future demands of the Kyrgyz labor market and will be in demand in practice among local employers and industrial partners of KRSU.
The implementation of the programs will be characterized by reliance on an electronic educational environment using modern distance learning platforms and artificial intelligence technologies. This will ensure the personalization of educational trajectories and the technological sustainability of solutions.
Work on the engineering track involves developing a detailed concept and roadmap with program launch stages, target indicators, and monitoring mechanisms. Joint events are also planned to promote the track among students, employers, and the professional community of Kyrgyzstan.
As part of the roadmap for work with KRSU, an agreement on cooperation in the field of additional professional education has already been approved. And this year, the first joint DPO programs will be introduced to the Kyrgyz market. We also managed to discuss joint projects in pre-university training and secondary vocational education, – noted Dmitry Tikhonov.
The visit of KRSU strengthened the strategic partnership between the universities and outlined specific practical steps for its development. The launch of the engineering track under the auspices of the two leading universities will be a significant contribution to the training of highly qualified personnel for the real sector of the Kyrgyz economy.
