One of the discussion platforms of the international conference on the development of modern education was organized at the Polytechnic University.
The conference “Education of the Future and the Future of Education” is currently taking place in different cities across the country, where important issues of Russian education development are being discussed at several discussion platforms. The meeting of the Polytechnic student body with vice-rectors Lyudmila Pankova and Maxim Pasholikov was devoted to the topic “A New Era of Higher Education: Towards Technological Leadership”.
The meeting participants discussed whether engineering education will be transformed into an innovative one through mass participation of students in research and engineering work; how the engineering education system will be integrated into science and production; touched upon the topic of developing mentoring in higher education; the use of tools for assessing and preparing graduates in accordance with the personnel requirements of the university’s partners, and much more.
Vice-Rector for Educational Activities of the University Lyudmila Pankova made a presentation on the topic of “Strategic Educational Initiatives in the SPbPU Development Program for 2025/2036.” Lyudmila Vladimirovna recalled that last week the Polytechnic University successfully defended its comprehensive development program andentered the first group of universities to receive grants from the Priority 2030 program, which is now focused on technological leadership. The Vice-Rector explained what strategic goals the university sets for itself, what strategic initiatives it proposes to achieve them, including in the field of education. For example, this is the construction of a flexible system for assessing educational results based on the individual achievements of students or students receiving several qualifications during their studies.
“The big advantage of the Polytechnic is its interdisciplinary nature,” noted Lyudmila Pankova. “When a university has many different competencies, they are well combined and a synergistic effect occurs.”
Vice-Rector for Youth Policy and Communication Technologies Maxim Pasholikov spoke about a multi-level mentoring system as a tool for working with young people, focusing on a new idea related to the development of mentoring. In the year of the 60th anniversary of the Trade Union of University Students and the 10th anniversary of the creation of the Public Institute “Adapters”, Maxim Aleksandrovich proposed to restart the Association of Polytechnic Graduates, created back in 2012, to unite on its basis adapters who graduated from the university, trade union activists and student brigade fighters.
“This will be a new stage in the development of youth policy at the university,” the vice-rector believes. “While we are studying, we are constantly immersed in this environment, but after graduation, connections are lost. And we, graduates, who were on the same wavelength during our years of study, need such social communication. This could be a permanent club in which horizontal connections would develop, and people would receive new opportunities for self-realization, including employment.”
After the presentations, the participants in the discussion were able to speak out on the proposed topics and receive answers to their questions.
