I. Metshin: «Our goal is to teach children to find their way in life»

<p> Since September 1, over a thousand school students will start learning working professions as part of a large-scale program aimed at providing early career guidance. Irek Rizvanov, the head of the Kazan Education Department, announced this at the August teachers' conference. </p> <p> Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan, stressed the significance of this initiative: «The level of involvement of children in the world of professional opportunities depends on whether they can consciously answer important questions by the time they graduate: who they want to become, where they want to work, and how they want to realize their potential.» </p> <p> The program has already demonstrated its effectiveness: last school year, 64 students completed their studies successfully and received working skills. This year, another 74 schoolchildren will receive qualifications, and more than a thousand students will begin their professional training starting September 1. </p> <p> Special attention is paid to several key areas. For instance, 11 schools in the aerospace sector are implementing pre-professional programs as part of the “Gagarin Country” project. </p> <p> Additionally, the pedagogical direction is being strengthened through the «New Pedagogical Class» project, which helps to create a community of future teachers. Currently, there are 54 of these classes, and their number is expected to increase in the future. </p>
