Another point is the Soviet School No. 1, where 369 children study. Here, according to the national project "Technological provision of food security", an agrotechnological class was created. Students study chemistry and biology in depth, successfully pass the exam in these subjects, and some graduates enter the Kursk GAU, choosing the profession of a veterinarian, agronomist or mechanizer.

Chepik admitted that there is still enough work here. He spoke about the need to attract young teachers to the school under the Zemsky Teacher program and to orient children to targeted training so that after the university they return to the region, to their native land.
