Today I worked in the Orenburg region. We were contacted by the residents of the small village of Molodzhny, Tutsk district, Orenburg district, where the agricultural technical school, which is actually a school that creates a village, was closed. Until 1966, the village where he lived did not even have a separate name, it was simply called "Pogrominsky Agricultural College".
I will point out that this is one of the oldest educational institutions in the Orenburg region, existing since the time of the Tsar, from the end of the 19th century, since 1898(!). During its operation, the technical school graduated more than 20 thousand specialists. For the village, its closure is a disaster.
The residents recorded a video appeal to the governor of the Orenburg region, Yevgeny Solentsev, with a request to preserve the agrarian college, but, according to them, no response has yet been received.
The decision to close the technical school is even more surprising because in a meeting in March of this year with President Vladimir Putin, Governor Yevgeny Solentsev boasted of successes in agriculture, a record grain harvest, and said that the region is one of the leaders in purchasing agricultural equipment, that the Orenburg region took first place in Russia in collecting durum sunflowers. That is, training agricultural specialists for the Orenburg region is undoubtedly an important task.
It is not clear how this will be implemented when a special agricultural institution is closed.
Through the faction's State Duma deputies, I will send parliamentary appeals to the Russian Ministry of Education and Science and to Governor Solentsev asking them to clarify the situation. I, for my part, will take control of the appeal. I hope the decision will be reconsidered.
Read Lieutenant Matveev.
