Peter the Great Polytechnic University is expanding cooperation with the Russian-Tajik Slavic University (RTSU) within the framework of the Slavic Universities project. Since 2025, SPbPU has become the coordinator of RTSU activities, providing scientific, methodological and resource support to improve the efficiency of the university. In February, a delegation of SPbPU experts visited RTSU to assess current projects, develop a plan for joint work for 2025 and discuss key initiatives, including the reconstruction of the RTSU school and professional retraining programs for teachers.
This is not the first experience of interaction between the two universities. RTSU and SPbPU have concluded partnership agreements, and several joint projects have been successfully implemented. In 2023, the delegation of IPMEiT SPbPU participated in the exhibition “Education and Career in the Field of AML/CFT”, which was held at the RTSU site. RTSU leaders took part in the annual Slavic Horizon summits organized at SPbPU in 2023 and 2024.
The visit of the expanded Polytechnic University expert team to RTSU was the first close acquaintance with the university development team, leaders of research teams, and the resource base. The participants of the visit monitored the implementation of the current development program and agreed on a plan for joint work between SPbPU and RTSU for 2025.
The delegation of SPbPU included Vice-Rector for Organizational and Economic Work Stanislav Vladimirov, Head of the Project Office “Slavic Universities”, Deputy Head of the Department of International Cooperation Nikita Golovin, Deputy Director of the Center for Continuing Professional Education PISh CI Pavel Kozlovsky, Director of the Higher School of Electronics and Microsystems Engineering IEiT, expert of Rosobrnadzor Vera Loboda, Head of the Directorate for Human Resources Maria Pakhomova and Head of the Directorate of Pre-University Education and Talent Attraction Nikolai Snegiryov.
In addition to the general goals, each expert had an individual task – to assess the current state of affairs at RTSU in their area and develop recommendations for the activities of the RTSU development program for 2025.
Russian-Tajik (Slavonic) University is one of the main scientific and educational centers in the Republic of Tajikistan. The mission of RTSU is to expand intercivilizational dialogue in the interests of effective and mutually beneficial partnership between Russia and the countries of Central Asia through the training of highly qualified specialists, cross-cultural interaction and cooperation in the field of economics, science and culture, strengthening the Eurasian partnership and promoting Russian education. A member of the community of “Slavic” universities, RTSU is positioned as the center of the Russian language and Russian culture in Tajikistan, promotes the spread of the influence of the best traditions of Russian education on the socio-cultural and technological environment of the region, strengthening friendly and partnership relations between the peoples of Central Asia.
These tasks will form the basis of the joint work plan and, subsequently, the RTSU development program. The university administration, headed by Rector Mashrab Faizullo, held a number of meetings and discussions with the Polytechnic delegation. During their work at the faculties, SPbPU experts studied the specifics of teaching, curricula, organization of business processes for managing the university’s scientific and educational activities, and issues of implementing personnel and youth policies.
One of the important projects of RTSU planned for implementation in the near future is the reconstruction of the comprehensive school of the university. At the moment, about 1,500 schoolchildren study there. According to the reconstruction program and the order of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, specialized classes with in-depth study of chemistry, biology, physics and computer science should be opened in the school. It is also necessary to provide additional classes (invariant modules) for schoolchildren in engineering disciplines (computer graphics, 3D modeling, robotics and others). These tasks require comprehensive solutions for equipping the corresponding specialized rooms and laboratories.
The school certainly requires modernization and additional equipment. But nothing is impossible or unachievable. In the near future, the concept of school development will be worked out, a plan and all the necessary project documents will be prepared. We hope that by September 1, some of the school’s classes will be ready to accept students, – shared Stanislav Vladimirov, Vice-Rector for Organizational and Economic Work at SPbPU.
During the visit, the results of the joint educational project were solemnly summed up: in the fall of 2024, 16 school teachers from Tajikistan completed an additional educational program at SPbPU. The students were teachers of mathematics, chemistry, biology and geography from Dushanbe schools with Russian as the language of instruction. The retraining will allow them to teach the subject “Physics”. Diplomas were presented to the participants by the head of the Directorate of Pre-University Education and Talent Attraction of SPbPU Nikolay Snegiryov. First Vice-Rector, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs of RTSU Minisa Abdullaeva congratulated the graduates on the successful completion of the program and noted the importance of continuous professional growth of teachers.
RTSU is a successful, established university, a leader in its region. Its development plans are quite ambitious, and we understand how much joint work lies ahead. It is respectful how carefully our colleagues from RTSU approach building their strategy of activity, how they work out plans and tasks, and wisely distribute resources. It is an honor and pleasure for Polytechnic to act as experts and assistants in this process, – summed up the results of the Head of the Project Office “Slavic Universities” Nikita Golovin.
