The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized the importance of the championship and noted that in 10 years, Abilympics has come a long way, increasing the number of participants from 250 to 120 thousand.
“We have more than 1.2 million children with various types of disabilities who need to be given the opportunity to compete and be active citizens of society. And, as President Vladimir Putin instructed, to realize their potential and talents. And we saw a lot of talent at the championship. Today, representatives of all regions of the country are here, including new subjects. What is noteworthy is that eight friendly countries are also participating in these competitions. I believe that the most important result of “Abilympics” is that 93% of participants find work after the championship,” said Dmitry Chernyshenko.
The Deputy Prime Minister also expressed gratitude to the Moscow government, where the Abilympics finals are traditionally held. He emphasized that he is grateful to businesses that responsibly approach the creation of jobs for people with disabilities.
The Deputy Prime Minister visited the venues where the championship was held. At the stand of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, he was presented with the latest technical rehabilitation equipment for people with disabilities. He also got acquainted with the exhibition and sale of goods from entrepreneurs who opened their own businesses.
In addition, the Deputy Prime Minister spoke with participants and experts in various competencies, including Pottery, Industrial Robotics, Graphic Design, and Character Design/Animation.
At Gostiny Dvor, the Deputy Prime Minister was accompanied by Deputy Minister of Education Olga Koludarova, Minister of the Moscow Government, Head of the Moscow Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population Evgeny Struzhak, and Head of the National Center “Abilympics” of the Institute for the Development of Professional Education Dina Makeeva.
“Over the past 10 years, the movement has become an important part of the system of professional education and employment of people with disabilities. Thanks to Abilympics, thousands of talented schoolchildren, students and working citizens have the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and abilities, as well as find a job they like. And we are confident that the Abilympics movement will continue to develop. This year, regional centers for the development of the movement opened in the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Kherson region. We hope that in the future, Abilympics will open its representative offices in all regions of our country,” noted Dina Makeeva.
The championship competitions in 2024 will be held in 50 approved core competencies in 11 areas of the economy: education, IT technologies, arts and crafts, creative industries, industry, catering, services, economics and management, construction, and medical professions. The judging will be carried out by 277 experts from 52 subjects of the Russian Federation.
It is also planned to hold competitions in 12 competencies and 1 presentation competence of the championship with the participation of representatives of friendly states in person: the Republic of Azerbaijan, the Republic of Abkhazia, the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Zimbabwe and the State of Qatar. Representatives of the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Nicaragua and the People’s Republic of China will participate remotely.
Over 10 years, the number of subjects of the Russian Federation where regional Abilympics championships are held has increased from 29 to 89, and the number of competitive competencies has grown from 29 to 206.
