The Institute of Pedagogy hosts the courses of Russian language for high school students from Mongolia. 33 students and their teachers have come to Irkutsk to master Russian language under the grant support of the “Russian World” Foundation (the Russkiy Mir Foundation). The program includes not only language classes, but study visits to Irkutsk schools.

Usually we organize such courses for teachers, but this time the participants are students, - Irina Boiko, associate professor of the Institute of Pedagogy, comments on.
