Teachers of higher school are our pride

On 19 November our huge country celebrates a wonderful professional holiday – the Day of Higher Education Teacher. Tula State University has the most direct relation to this significant date.
Throughout the university`s existence, its teaching staff has been training high-grade specialists. Some of them join the ranks of employees of enterprises and organisations, some of them follow the research pass but all of them keep in their hearts a feeling of gratitude to those who have given them a ticket to a big professional life.
The concert hall of TulSU was full that day.
The best cadets of Tula Workers` Regiment Military Centre carried the flags of Russian Federation, Tula region and Tula State University in a solemn atmosphere. The National Anthem of our country was played.
Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitriy Nikolayevich Chernyshenko and Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Valeriy Nikolayevich Falkov addressed the teachers of higher education with video congratulations.
The date of 19 November, said Dmitriy Nikolayevich, wasn`t chosen by chance. Teachers and mentors are honoured on the birthday of the outstanding Russian scientist Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov.
Higher education is a special pride of Russia. As President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin emphasizes, Russia`s competitiveness depends on achievements in science and education. It is the generation of young specialists that teachers are training today that will lead the country to the technological leadership. This is the national goal set by the head of state.
The Day of the Higher School Teacher, noted Valery Nikolayevich Falkov, is still young, but already a well-known and important professional holiday. Today, all over the country, professors and associate professors, teachers and assistants, those who have devoted their lives to the noble teaching labour, are receiving congratulations.
The transfer of knowledge provides the continuity of leading scientific schools, the bringing up of young professionals and ensures the technological leadership of our country.
A good teacher is, first of all, a mentor who helps talent to unfold. He inspires by his example and instils love for his work, for his field of knowledge, lays the basic principles of scientific ethics.
Valeriy Nikolaevich wished all teachers of higher education new successes in their work, creative inspiration, happiness, well-being and health.
Andrey Vladimirovich Dubrovsky, Chairman of the Tula Regional Duma, congratulated the participants of the gala event at TulSU on behalf of the deputies.
Today's holiday, he noted, is a sign of recognition of the noble work of teachers of higher education. Their profession is a real vocation. Higher school teachers are at the forefront of Russian science and Russian education.

Oleg Kravchenko, Rector of Tula State University, congratulated his colleagues on their professional holiday from the bottom of his heart.
The work of higher education teachers, he emphasised, has always been different from that of other educationists. Their task is not only to convey knowledge and share practical experience, but first of all to inspire the student, who is already an adult, to self-development and moving into a higher orbit. And also to educate a worthy successor.
The ability to enthuse and interest, continued Oleg Alexandrovich, someone calls the charisma of a teacher, and someone calls it pedagogical skill. But in any case it is something for which teachers will be rewarded a hundredfold in the future - with love and gratitude of students. The future of their students depends on the daily work of teachers.     
Oleg Alexandrovich wished his colleagues good health, new achievements, purposeful, talented and grateful students.

Beautiful hosts Anastasia Kosina and Andrey Lubenets gave the event a special flavour and literally fascinated the numerous audience. 
Sofiya Mironova, a first-year student of the Medical Institute, literally warmed up the hall with ‘Folk jingles’, and the pupils of the university kindergarten ‘Solnyshko’ captivated and charmed everyone with a dance composition a la Russe.
‘Beautiful Far Away’ performed by the vocal club “Mitsar” acquired a philosophical meaning, stretching an invisible thread between the present and the future. Marvellous voices of the girls as if a magic veil enveloped the huge space of the concert hall and penetrated into the hearts of the audience. 
The life-affirming video ‘Native Land’ evoked a sea of positivity. Thanks to it, all the participants were able to mentally travel to the historical places of the Tula region and feel proud of their small homeland.
The cherry on this festive and solemn cake was the performance of the cover band ‘Comics!’. The band is interesting because it consists of graduates and students of Tula State University. Music connected and inspired them. The performers fountained with energy and positivity.
The celebration in honour of the teachers of the higher school was a success!
