At each graduation event, TSPU deans, institute directors, and faculty members shared words of congratulations and guidance. Alongside long-awaited diplomas, graduates also received universal competency passports—portfolios showcasing the key skills they developed during their studies, including organization, goal orientation, and client-focused thinking. Students who excelled in academics, research, and student leadership throughout their university life received special recognition.

Graduates looked back at their brightest student memories, thanked their mentors, and spoke about their future plans. Many plan to pursue master’s degrees to deepen their expertise, enroll in PhD programs to advance research, or begin teaching careers to gain hands-on professional experience in schools.

In 2025, more than 45 000 students graduated from 36 pedagogical universities across Russia under the Ministry of Education. Each graduate is now part of a nationwide community of professionals contributing to the future of education at both regional and national levels.
