On June 19, educators from Namibia and Zimbabwe began their studies at IKBFU. The “Russian as a Foreign Language for Science, Education and Culture” intensive course is held as part of the D. Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia international project organised with the support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation.
This is not the first visit to Russia for nine African educators — they have previously studied at Russian universities.
During the ten days, guests will enjoy an engaging programme on Russian language and culture, as well as sightseeing trips and workshops. The course is focused not only on conversational Russian, but also Russian for business, science and education. The University staff will introduce the guests of the region to the natural and architectural sights of Kaliningrad and the Baltic coast.
One of the project participants, Paulus Sheetekela, studied in Tambov, then completed his postgraduate degree at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in 2014. Today, the young professional runs the information support department at a private university in Namibia, teaches computer science, and promotes Russian-African relations as vice-president of the Association of Russian University Graduates.

I graduated from a Russian university ten years ago. I have been to Russia many times since then. I love this country very much for the honesty and openness of its people, for the quality education I received and now I can improve the education system in my home country. Russia and Namibia have a rich history of co-operation in science and education. Such federal projects, of course, strengthen this work. |
The Russian as a Foreign Language intensive for educators from Namibia and Zimbabwe will be held until the 28th of June.
IKBFU takes part in the federal project “Promotion of the Russian language and Russian education in African countries” for the second year in a row. In 2023, 11 teachers from Zimbabwe completed a professional development programme at the University.
