More than 600 representatives of the Leningrad Region education system gathered in Gatchina for a large-scale pedagogical council to sum up the results of the academic year and determine development vectors for the future. The event was attended by the Vice-Rector for Additional and Pre-University Education of SPbPU Dmitry Tikhonov and the Acting Director of the Center for Work with Educational Organizations Georgy Shkolnik.
The topic of the pedagogical council this year was "Education Development Strategy: Consolidation of Federal and Regional Decisions". The forum turned into a key platform for dialogue between the authorities, educational institutions and the expert community. The Governor of the Leningrad Region Alexander Drozdenko, Senator of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation Sergey Perminov, Director of the Department of State Policy in the Sphere of Protection of Children's Rights of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation Larisa Falkovskaya, Vice-Governor of St. Petersburg Irina Potekhina and Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of the Leningrad Region Sergey Bebenin addressed the audience with welcoming words.
The central element of the program was the work of 13 thematic sections. Dmitry Tikhonov spoke at the section "Development of the career guidance potential of the regional education system: specialized pre-professional classes and cluster approach."
The participants of the section discussed the creation and development of a system of specialized pre-professional classes as an effective tool for early career guidance. Particular attention was paid to models of network interaction between schools, colleges, universities and industrial enterprises within the framework of the cluster approach. Dmitry Tikhonov shared with colleagues the successful experience of the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University in organizing pre-university training and implementing projects aimed at identifying and supporting talented schoolchildren focused on engineering and technical specialties.
Dmitry Vladimirovich spoke about the role of the leading technical university in implementing the cluster approach and forming a continuous educational chain "school – university – enterprise". He shared the experience of SPbPU in organizing project activities of schoolchildren, the work of engineering classes and the implementation of additional education programs that allow identifying and supporting talented applicants focused on engineering specialties.
The report paid special attention to the new stage of development of this project directly in the Leningrad Region. Dmitry Vladimirovich reported that this academic year, with the support of the Committee for General and Professional Education of the Leningrad Region, specialized pre-professional "Engineering IT classes" were created in nine general education organizations of the region.
He called the training of teaching staff an important component. As part of the cooperation, SPbPU has already conducted advanced training for 40 teachers from schools in the Leningrad Region on the topic of "Conducting career guidance work in engineering classes: modern approaches and tools." In addition, more than 100 teachers from St. Petersburg and the region completed a three-month training program for drawing teachers using the domestic software "Nanosoft."
The creation of engineering classes is not a one-time event, but the beginning of a long journey for schoolchildren. We help not only to give them in-depth knowledge, but to immerse them in a professional environment, show real tasks and form motivation to obtain an engineering education, which is in demand by leading industrial enterprises of the Leningrad Region. Participation in such large-scale regional events as the pedagogical council is extremely important for the university. This allows us to directly interact with the pedagogical community, build long-term partnerships with schools and, ultimately, train specialists for high-tech sectors of the economy, – noted Dmitry Tikhonov.
The council members developed specific proposals for scaling up the best practices of career guidance work throughout the region, which will be taken into account in the strategy for the development of education in the Leningrad Region.
An award ceremony for the best teachers in the region was also held. For significant achievements in the field of education and many years of conscientious work, 38 representatives of the Leningrad Region education system received state and regional awards.
