                 TRAINING SCIENTISTS IN OUR COUNTRY

      The aim of our country’s higher education is to train all-round developed
students with a high degree of social consciousness, culture and knowledge.
That is the students are trained morally, intellectually and physically.
      There are 3 characteristic features of teaching. First, theory is combined
with practice. Second, great attention is paid to the quality of studying. Third,
students must know how to educate themselves.
      Students are also trained for research work. At secondary schools boys and
girls get first elements of scientific training.
      These first elements of scientific training are developed later at schools of
higher learning. At higher schools students begin to take part in scientific and
engineering work. Besides their students, they carry on research in different
students’ groups and societies. Students interested in science join the Students’
Scientific Society. They are engaged in investigation of problems, carry out
experiments in research laboratories, design up-to-date instruments and make
reports at scientific conferences. The members of the Students’ Scientific
Society work under the guidance of experienced teachers. The most interesting
devices designed by the students are annually exposed at different exhibitions
and win prizes. Many graduation projects submitted by the students are later
used in industry.
      But the best way to get scientific training is the post-graduate course. There
are both full time and correspondence post-graduate courses. All post-graduate
study free of charge. Those who take a full time post-graduate course get state
allowances. Universities and institutes provide post-graduate free of charge with
all scientific instruments and experimental and laboratory equipment. As a result
of their work they present a thesis for a scientific degree.
      But that is the only way to train future scientists. Another way is to create
conditions for specialists to carry out on research in different institutions,
factories, etc., and present a thesis for a scientific degree after they finish their
work.
      Our country provides young people with everything necessary to prepare
for a scientific career and to make important contribution to the development of
science.
