In all, about 500 students from Turkmenistan study at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. Thanks to the joint work of the Turkmen community and the administration of SPbPU, the university has established a clear system for working with students from Turkmenistan, who receive all the important information, give feedback and have the opportunity to report their problems.

During the coronavirus pandemic, many regular university events were postponed or transferred to a remote format. Several tasks had to be dealt with quickly. International students from SPbPU joined in the work on them. For example, with Govshut’s participation, a volunteer headquarters was organized to help international students who found themselves in observation at the dormitory; information support was provided to students in the process of receiving a one-time financial aid from the university and during the coronavirus vaccination period.

The past year has not been easy for many of us, above all for international students who are away from family and home. Despite everything, we unite and help each other. At any time, it’s important to be together and act together. But especially now, said Govshut PERNIYAZOV.
