Also, the university is actively developing a research base. In total, about 12 research teams and several mobile groups work here, which include both students and professors. The Pedagogical University takes an active part in various research conferences both in its city and far beyond its borders.
A feature of the pedagogical university is the active work of the volunteer movement, formed by the university. After all, the profession of a teacher in one way or another presupposes the presence of such important qualities as responsiveness and partiality.
But the main task of this university is to train specialists with a creative and progressive approach to work, the desire to constantly improve in the chosen profession and related areas. It is precisely such cadres that are lacking in the modern educational system and society as a whole.
