Training specialists in our country
Every citizen in our country with a complete secondary education has the possibility to enter a higher school. He passes entrance competitive examinations. Some people get preference since they have experience in practical work. The universities are large centres of education. They offer broad training in sciences such as physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, geology, geography, philology and so on.
The curricula of colleges and universities provide students with the necessary amount of theoretical knowledge and practical skills in their profession.
Due to new programs students have more time for independent work (under the supervision of instructors if necessary) beginning independent research as early as possible.
There are Students’ Scientific Societies in all institutions of higher learning of our country. Members of societies carry out research in a field of their choice. They also present scientific papers at seminars and conferences.
Polytechnic and specialized technical institutes offer engineering training in more than two hundred specialities. As Polytechnic institutes are multi-department institutions with a considerable choice of specialities, they give a sound theoretical training and broad knowledge in engineering specialities.
Specialized institutes usually train specialists for some definite branch of industry.
