Its history dates back to the twentieth century, making it one of the older institutions in the Volgograd area. Today is also All-Russian Lyceum Student Day across the entire country. The Imperial Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum opened its doors on this date, October 19, 1811. The Uryupinsk Lyceum's founding anniversary comes within the Year of the Teacher and Mentor. In this regard, I'd want to thank the lyceum's professors as well as all the educators in the Volgograd region,” Sergey Kravtsov said via video link.
Vladimir Filippov also congratulated the students and teachers: “The school is really actively participating in the modernization of Russian education. Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin supported the idea of developing specialized classes. And I am ready to contribute in every possible way to attracting not only Moscow schools, but also educational institutions such as the Uryupinsk Lyceum to this development.”
Over the past week, ceremonial events were held at the Lyceum, during which the Project Manager of the Coordination Center for TLD .RU, Alexander Drozdov, and the Chairman of the Youth Council of the Center, Andrey Aleinikov, conducted safe Internet lessons for grades 3-11 of the Lyceum, as well as a quiz “Study the Internet & Govern It!” – special emphasis was placed on cybersecurity and online hygiene in the questions. Over two busy days, about 550 students attended safe internet lessons.
Lyceum Director Irina Sagalayeva noted that specialists from the Coordination Center for TLD .RU/.РФ during safe Internet lessons helped students understand how to behave on the Internet in order to avoid getting into unpleasant situations. “Without forgetting the past, we confidently move into the future. The entire team strives to provide quality education to our students and maintain the high level of our Lyceum,” the director said.
In addition, the Lyceum teachers were presented with a new educational project of the Coordination Center, which the Center is implementing jointly with the Academy of Innovative Education and Development - School of Mentors “Study the Internet”.
