In case of municipal schoolteachers, the state is taking role of the employer. In turn an employer-sponsored student is obliged to spend some time working for the facility, that “ordered” him.

At the beginning of August the annual international conference on theoretical physics "Quantum field theory and gravitation" will start at TSPU.

Ivan Klein has monitored the activities of students' teams involved in TPSU project “Summer in the city”. All summer long TSPU students have been working with kids who could not spend holiday at camps or out of town. Games, workshops and sport events are being organized for such kids.

“We have been realizing this project since 2006, - said dean of the pedagogical department of TSPU Galina Titova. – There are students who for some reason could not travel to camps in order to undergo their practice, so they do it here instead. There are some first year students who already wish to work with children. We encourage them and give all the necessary information. During the summer around 40-60 students have involved in the project. The main condition – is suitable playground, a place where children could run, play with a ball, sit down and cover from rain. We also pay attention to the safety of playgrounds." Then mayor has visited the playground of the project in the oil, 11.

Students and employees of the faculty of history and philology of Tomsk state pedagogical university along with the representatives of Shatilov Tomsk regional museum and colleagues from Tomsk state university have visited Kulaika mountain in Chainsk area of the Tomsk region. The goal of the trip was to inspect the results of archeological dig that was carried out by large group of students headed by Dmitry Y. Rybakov, candidate of historical sciences, assistant of department of archaeology and ethnology of TSPU. The group has visited the camp of the archeological expedition situated in picturesque spot near the Chai river.

It was exciting to be acquainted with exposition of the Museum if Kulai culture in Podgorny village. At present time there is only a small area has left from the famous mountain, its crest is dangerously hanging at the great height and the large part of it had fallen in river this spring. It is dangerous to walk on the top of the mountain and remained part of it is having no prospects for archeological works. Students had to deal with a very hard terrain – clay. Among the findings made in one of the dig sites there were silicic sliver, knife-shaped plate that are evidence of human presence in this area, probably in late Stone Age. Students and teachers have also visited Podgorny branch of Tomsk regional museum – Museum of Kulai archeological culture.
