RT; Rustem Khuzin, the head of the Department of Education, Naberezhnye
Chelny.
According to Alsu Sharipova, “The children in our republic are trained in 5
languages. And they study 8 more languages. The multinational Sunday school has
been successfully operating. So, this year, for example, children of 30 nationalities
are being trained. Therefore, this conference makes us all one step closer.”
According to Roza Shayahmetova, the head of the Department for the
Development of Supplementary Education RT, “Here, at this conference, we
touched upon a number of the most important questions relating to teacher
shortage. Despite the presence of pedagogical universities, we keep facing this
problem. We have to make a decision: in what direction and in what way we
should go to solve this problem.”

districts and other parts of Russia. The guests came also from abroad: Kazakhstan,
Algeria and Tunisia.
Ali Burnissa, the dean of the Faculty of Arabic Language, Arts and Oriental
Languages from University Algiers-2 said, “It is through culture that we get closer
with the Russian language. The professors from Naberezhnye Chelny State
Pedagogical University came to Algeria to teach Russian. It is not only the
training in phonetics, lexis and grammar – it is necessary to study culture. Since
the language reflects the mentality and culture of the country.”

nationalities living in this Republic of Tatarstan, Russia and the whole world,”
