The Chuvash State University Became the Third in the National Ranking According to the Results of Professional and Public Accreditation Performed by the National Fund for Supporting Innovation in the Educational Sphere

Wednesday, 09.10.19

The National Fund for supporting innovations in Education (NFPI, nfpi-edu.ru ) for the first time published "Rating on the results of professional and public accreditation". Its main indicator is a professionally-public accreditation of programmes of higher education institutions in the world recognized accreditation agencies. I. N. Ulianov ChuvSU is ranked 3rd among Russian universities.

Professional and public accreditation of educational programs is recognition of the quality and the level of graduates’ training. It is carried out by employers, their associations, as well as authorized national professional and public organizations that are part of international structures (the Federal Law "On education", article 96, pp.3 and 4).

It should be reminded that 61 educational program of I. N. Ulianov Chuvash State University passed professional and public accreditation in authoritative independent accreditation bodies (as Certification Agency "Russian Register", the National center for professional and public accreditation).

Igor Poverinov,ChuvSU Vice-rector for academic Affairs:

"Professional and public accreditation seriously affects the admission control figures and the process of state accreditation, that is why it is an important criterion of efficiency for us. I would like to note that now we plan to launch a pilot process of obtaining international accreditation of the medical faculty as an advanced one in terms of educational services export."

Vasily Makolov, the head of ChuvSU educational and methodical department:

"Such results in the ranking are very important for us. In terms of professional and public accreditation, we constantly interact with key accreditation agencies of Russia connected to the ENQA (European Association for quality assurance of higher education) network within the Bologna process, so our programs meet international criteria."

The Best Students of the Country Are Determined In Cheboksary

Tuesday, 08.10.19

Intellectuals, athletes and just excellent students

"We are Russian students!"' students' voices rang out over the Embankment in unison on Sunday afternoon. One of the stages of the All-Russian contest "Miss and Mister of the Russian Studentship-2019" was held at the monument to the Mother. The participants in the national costumes of the regions that they represent, stretched a large Russian tricolor and sang the anthem of the Russian Federation. Even the rain stopped at this time, and only a cold wind blew from the Volga River. It was cold for girls in silk dresses, stylized national costumes, but they steadfastly withstood harsh weather conditions. Running to warm buses, they laughed: "The weather is not great, but the city is beautiful. And what wonderful people live here!»

42 persons from 27 regions of the country came to the capital of Chuvashia to compete for the victory in the All-Russian competition of intelligence, creativity and sports, which is held for the thirteenth time. Last year, the winners were a student of the Chuvash state University Polina Yakovleva and Ivan Teplov from Saratov, a student of the Volga Institute of management at RANEPA.

Despite the fact that the event has already become a tradition, its organizers have prepared a surprise for the contenders for the victory: it is in Cheboksary that the student-winner for the first time will receive a crown, which was made in the colors of the tricolor.

Numbers

700 universities in 65 regions of the country hold competitions to choose the best students

To get to the final, young people first had to win in such competitions in their region. And judging by the fact that the main criteria were not their appearance, but creativity, high intelligence and sports training, the future intellectual elite of the country gathered in Chuvashia. Our Republic is represented by a future technologist in machine-building production Polina Zinovieva and a future lawyer Vyacheslav Krasnov.

Uneasy tasks are waiting for them: it will be necessary to demonstrate sports training, the ability to solve problems, sing, dance... And in addition, in memory of themselves, young people will plant 550 trees in the Volga region. Probably, it is clear to everyone that this figure is not accidental — in the year of Cheboksary's anniversary, another figure would be senseless.

Photo at chuvsu.ru: Twenty young men and twenty-two girls claim to be the best of the best students in the country. They reached the final of the nationwide competition, and everyone deserves this title, but only two will be lucky to become "Miss and Mister Studentship".

At the opening ceremony, the rector of I. N. Ulianov ChuvSU, Andrey Aleksandrov said: "We are partners with many universities that you represent, and they have made their efforts to get you here. We hope that you will spend your time with maximum benefit."

Andrey Yurievich is sure that today it is not sufficient just to study well. He needs to constantly update his knowledge, to be able to work in a team, because the time of single specialists has passed, to play sports - the current load can not be tolerated without proper physical training.

Zemfira Baydavletova from the Bashkir State Pedagogical University named after Miftakhetdin Akmulla honestly admitted - if not for sports, it would not be easy for her to become the first in her Republic. Her parents live in the suburbs, and she lives independently from them in Ufa, so she works part-time in the field of IT-technologies and in addition teaches computer science to  junior schoolchildren. She believes that such hardships are a good test of strength, the ability to focus on the essentials.

At Anhui University in China, a ChuvSU Student Studied the Ancient Art of Jianzhi

Monday, 07.10.19

Students of our University are pass training in Chinese universities. Thanks to the warm welcome and great friendship with the Chinese universities, many of our students were able to visit China.

Friendship can be based on  similarity of views, interests, hobbies. Thus, a complex technique of cutting patterns from paper "Jianzhi" helped a student of ChuvSU Economics faculty Tatyana Timofeeva to make friends during her year-long internship in China with a teacher of Anhui University of the town of  Hefei in Anhui province of the People's Republic of China Bao Ding.

Bao Ding teaches traditional Chinese painting and ancient Jianzhi art, recognized by UNESCO as part of the world cultural heritage. The traditional art of carving complex patterns, according to archaeologists, dates back to the VI century and served for religious rituals and interior decoration. Images cut from paper usually have a symbolic meaning, so they were often used to decorate sacrifices or funeral rites. Currently, they are used as decoration of windows, walls, mirrors, lamps, lanterns. After all, Jianzhi is carved exclusively by hand. The master puts not only his imagination, but his soul as well.

Learning Jianzhi technique is quite difficult. That is why every weekend Tatiana attended classes on Jianzhi and got more and more attached to the traditional culture of China. The teacher Bao Ding admired Tatiana's works . In China,  red paper is usually used for carving, as red symbolizes prosperity and well-being. Jianzhi also requires scissors, a sharp knife, perseverance and patience.

After returning from China, Tatiana continued distance learning Jianzhi from his teacher. Today, thanks to the huge work for a whole year, the teacher of ancient art Jianzhi shared his finished version of the panoramic view of Hefei with Tatiana. This Jianzhi depicts the architectural monuments of the city's scientific and technological attractions, landscapes of Chaohu and Dagushan, and more.

This painstaking work took the teacher Ding more than a year and he completed it in the form of a 15-meter roll of Jianzhi, dedicated to the 70th anniversary of  founding the People's Republic of China, which is celebrated annually on October, 1. According to Bao Ding himself, for this work he visited many sites, took hundreds and thousands of photos, wrote a script and collected a large amount of information. He expressed the hope that through this Jianzhi he would acquaint Hefei with the outside world, and the residents themselves with the beauty of their city.

Would you like to visit Hefei? You can get acquainted with the art of Jianzhi made by the teacher Ding  in the near future at the Center for the study of China at the Chuvash state University.
