Chinese students learned about NEFU educational programs

A delegation from North-Eastern Federal University paid a working visit to Zhaozhou secondary school in Daqing City, China. Students were told about the educational programs of the federal university.

According to the director of NEFU Institute of the East Nyurgun Maksimov, North-Eastern Federal University is an active member of the School Association of Russia and China. “Our institute was one of the initiators of the establishment of an associated network of schools of the RS (Y) with the study of the Chinese language. Currently, this network includes about 20 educational organizations in Yakutia, where the Chinese language is taught. Chinese colleagues also interested in cooperation,” said Nyurgun Maksimov.

The establishment of schools network is considered a successful project. Joint projects of NEFU, schools of Yakutia and partner universities are held annually: the competition in Chinese “East Challenge", festivals and others. “The School Association of Russia and China appreciates cooperation, and is engaged in the promotion of our university. Working with Chinese schools to actively promote NEFU brand in the country of East Asia is becoming one of the important tasks: we hope that a large number of future applicants will choose our university,” commented Nyurgun Maksimov.

About 150 students from China study at NEFU - one fifth of the students who arrived this year through direct cooperation with foreign schools. “We hope that next year the number of students will be increased at least twice. This year we have big plans for cooperation with schools. For example, admission of foreign students was opened at secondary school No. 3 of Shuangcheng District of Harbin in the spring 2019. This school also focus students to enter our university,” said Nyurgun Maksimov.

The plans of the specialists of the federal university are to hold a presentation in Shenyang and in Shan County, Shandong Province, where about 3,000 schoolchildren study Russian. “NEFU representative office in Harbin, opened on the basis of Harbin Polytechnic, is currently coordinating this work. On the Yakut side, we are using the resources of the Regional Center for Russian-Chinese cooperation in science, education and culture. It was opened in June 2019 with the assistance of the Consulate General of the PRC in Khabarovsk,” said Nyurgun Maksimov.
