A meeting of the university's management and teaching staff was held in the assembly hall of Stavropol State Agrarian University. 

During the meeting, Rector Vladimir Sitnikov outlined the need to transform educational programs and teaching methods. They should be based on increasing the volume of practices, maintaining a balance between fundamentals and practice, the integrity and sufficiency of education, which the labor market perceives as completeness. In addition, the vector of providing the missing competencies was highlighted — a joint professional development program for teachers with the HSE will be launched this year.

— Our teacher should not be disconnected from production, and his competence and the format of the discipline presentation should correspond to modern trends and student's needs. It was nice to see the willingness to perform tasks together, to hear opinions and a real response. I am sure that our team can cope with the necessary transformation,» said Vladimir Sitnikov, Rector of the SSAU.
