Petrozavodsk celebrates centenary of Education Development Center

In Petrozavodsk, congratulations were expressed in honor of the centenary of the Center for Education Development. The countdown of its history began on October 27, 1926, when the City Methodical Bureau was born. Over the century, a modest initiative has transformed into one of the cornerstones of urban education, today determining the vectors of development and actively introducing innovative methods.

The solemn Pedagogical Council, which gathered the team of the center and its friends, noted this significant event.

As shared by the Director of the Center for the development of education Lyubov Ikonnikova, the centenary of the CRO is not just a number in the calendar. This is the personification of the many years of work of thousands of teachers, the tireless energy of methodical associations, bold steps of innovative platforms, sincere children's initiatives and the unique atmosphere that we create together. There are many plans ahead, fresh ideas and, I am sure, new victories. It is especially important that we walk this path hand in hand.

The key activities of the team were presented by its leading specialists. Head of the Department of Organizational and Methodological Work and Monitoring Olga Belyaeva spoke about the principles of the status-level education system. Head of the Psychological, Medical and Pedagogical Commission Olga Udovitskaya highlighted aspects of the work of her unit. Senior Methodists Natalia Vengerova and Alexandra Gromova shared invaluable experience in organizing urban pedagogical communities and promoting the competitive movement in the capital of Karelia.

On the anniversary of the team congratulated the head of Petrozavodsk city district Inna Kolykhmatova. She emphasized the importance of their daily dedication to the city’s education system.

Warm words of congratulations to the staff of the CRO were also sent by the Legislative Assembly of Karelia, the Petrozavodsk City Council and the Gorkom of the Trade Union of Workers of Public Education and Science of the Russian Federation.
