Bashkortostan trains farm specialists from school desks with 248 agro-classes

Bashkortostan head Radiy Khabirov described efforts to train personnel for the agro-industrial complex (APK) in the republic. In a post on his social media page, he said 248 agro-classes have been created in 150 schools across 42 municipalities. Many schools are opening agro-classes on their own initiative, reflecting the demands of the times and the needs of the economy. Pupils study subjects linked to the specifics of agriculture and complete their practical training at leading agricultural enterprises.

In the past week alone, four agro-classes opened in Zirgan in Meleuz district, Kabakovo in Karmaskaly district, Urazovo in Uchaly district and Kushnarenkovo in Kushnarenkovo district. Students there will learn to work with 3D printers and agro-robots and even to operate drones. Khabirov said the republic has 10 agro-technical classes under the national project 'Technological Support of Food Security', including in Chishmy, Buraevo, Nurimanovo and Buzdyak districts. Agro-engineering will also be taught soon in Staryi Kurdym village in Tatyshly district once its school reopens after major repairs. Khabirov stressed that the work is carried out with federal support.
