During the training, they got acquainted with modern methods of teaching biology, the peculiarities of preparing children for olympiads of various levels, techniques and methods of conducting laboratory work as part of a school biology workshop, were able to exchange their best practices and communicate with colleagues. Based on the results of the courses, the participants received certificates of advanced training.

Altai State University is a member of a consortium of leading Russian universities that are implementing a project to create and develop foreign resource centers for Russian education. To date, seven resource centers are successfully operating on the basis of schools in Bulgaria, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Mongolia, Syria, Tajikistan and Turkey. Despite the epidemiological restrictions that prevented teachers from leaving for basic schools in 2020, classes with students, refresher courses for teachers, winter schools and olympiads are conducted using distance learning technologies in all seven resource centers created under the project.
