Results of the video conference with Omsk Pedagogical University

On December 8, Omsk State Pedagogical University, "The Way Home", the "Our People Everywhere " portal, Rossotrudnichestvo and the Russian House in Berlin held a video conference, which we wrote about earlier. The meeting brought several very important issues to light. Conference participants were able to ask their questions in real time.

A recording of the meeting will be available to watch from December 13 on all "The Way Home" video platforms: Youtube, VK, Telegram.

Omsk State Pedagogical University introduced interested viewers to its methods of work, the organization of student life, and the selection of educational programs. Questions were asked about dormitory amenities, quality of life, and costs there.

One important point was the stated shortage of working personnel in the region in the field of school and vocational education. The Ministry of Labor and Social Development offered more than a thousand vacancies. This is something future students need to pay attention to—there are jobs available! The region is waiting for you as teachers in schools and colleges!

For its part, the Russian House in Berlin raised an incredibly important issue for many resettlers—the future and opportunities of children arriving in the Russian Federation with a European school education. Everyone involved understands that the school education systems in the countries do not correspond, and that there are problems for schoolchildren arriving in the Russian Federation from European schools in their 8th or 9th year of education when it comes to taking the Unified State Exam.

Rossotrudnichestvo and the Russian House in Berlin are increasingly receiving requests from the Omsk region to expand vocational education opportunities for young people, practically still children, who have resettled from Europe. This is so they do not end up shut out of opportunities to acquire a trade and subsequently put their resources and efforts to use for and on the side of Russia.

Alongside vocational education, the issue of learning Russian was raised. This is important not only for further admission to a university or vocational education, but also for family members who do not speak Russian.

There are already many such requests, and their number will only grow. This indicates the need for a Russian language course, as well as specialists trained in methods for teaching Russian to foreigners.
