Chuvashia will send the best IT teachers to Yandex for internships, according to the initiator of the campaign, State Duma deputy Anatoly Aksakov.
According to him, 150 people selected under the Personnel Reserve program will move to the company’s central office in Moscow. They will have to work with the best Yandex specialists (methodologists, programmers) and improve their skills in the field of artificial intelligence and computer science teaching. In addition, the trainee teachers will learn public speaking.
The internship is expected to take place in March next year during the school holidays.
Aksakov also announced plans to attract leading IT companies from the country and Chuvashia to finance and support the republic’s specialized teachers.
“Our goal is to make Chuvashia one of the most advanced regions in secondary, secondary specialized and higher IT education,” Aksakov said.
