From March 17 to April 5, 2024, Altynsarin Institute students went on an academic trip to Bashkiria. This trip was made possible thanks to a cooperation agreement signed in December 2023 with the BSPU named after M. Akmulla, which allows students to expand their knowledge and experience abroad as part of the academic mobility program.

Under the leadership of the institute’s staff Zhumabaeva S.B. and Shaimenova L.S., a group of students, including Zhamantai Z., Tenelbay D., Kaliaskarov A., Khudabergenova A., Koygar A., Serikova D., Makhmut S. and Bolatova Zh., went on a “journey” filled with exciting moments and educational opportunities.
The first day of the trip was dedicated to arriving in the city of Ufa, located on the banks of the White River. Students could feel its cozy atmosphere and get acquainted with the amazing cultural attractions for which it is famous.
On the same day, according to the program, they met with the leadership of the university, where they took part in a working meeting on the implementation of joint academic projects.
“Our task is to build bridges in the field of higher education and science between our universities. Academic mobility of students contributes to the overall educational and scientific experience. We are ready to continue our cooperation not only in matters of academic mobility, but also double-degree education,” noted Vice-Rector for Strategic Development Almaz Flyurovich Mustaev in his speech. Summarizing, the first vice-rector expressed confidence that the university will support and develop the program in the future.

In turn, the guest delegation expressed gratitude for the hospitality. “We are happy to interact with colleagues from your university, share experiences and learn from our Ufa friends. Your city made an unforgettable impression on us, so we can say with confidence that we will be happy to come to you again,” said Sania Bakhytzhanovna, head of the office of academic programs, methodological and scientific work.

As part of the program of stay at BSPU, the delegation of our institute visited the Technopark of Universal Pedagogical Competencies and the IFMTS, where they examined the modern conditions for training teachers and got acquainted with the project for promoting teacher education. Technopark employees gave a tour of the laboratories, talked about the functionality of the equipment and explained the operation of modern digital instruments for research in any field of human knowledge.

According to ArkPI students, the technology park has created opportunities for pedagogical design, gaining experience in implementing interdisciplinary and meta-subject projects, organizing research work, and developing functional literacy.
Many good impressions await students ahead: acquaintance with the activities of the Faculty of Psychology and the Institute of Pedagogy, excursions, participation in festive events as part of the international spring holiday Navruz. And also weeks of studying, taking tests and exams.
The students were absolutely delighted with their first day in Ufa and express their sincere gratitude to the leadership of the two universities for such a unique opportunity.
