Sverdlovsk Oblast Governor Congratulates Winners of Disability Skills Championship
Governor Denis Pasler of Sverdlovsk Oblast has congratulated the winners and medalists of the national skills championship "Abilimpex," which caters to individuals with disabilities and health limitations. In a post on his Telegram channel, he announced cash rewards for nine residents of the region.
The breakdown of rewards is as follows: the first-place winner will receive 150,000 rubles, second place winners will receive 125,000 rubles, and third-place winners will receive 100,000 rubles. Coach recognition is also part of the reward, with each teacher receiving the same amount as their student.
Among the winners, Vasily Kuznetsov clinched the gold in 'Web Development,' while Elvir Fanaikaev took first place in '1C Typical Solutions Specialist.' These students were coached at the Upper Pyshma School-Internat, which implements adaptive basic general education programs.
The qualifying stage of the championship is currently underway in Sverdlovsk Oblast, with a total of 194 participants. Contestants fall into three categories: 52 schoolchildren, 111 students, and 31 specialists.
The winners of the qualifying stage will have the opportunity to represent their regions in the final championship, set to take place in Moscow in October.
The "Abilimpex" championship aligns with the national project "Youth and Children," which seeks to oversee various educational and youth-related initiatives across Russia. While the specific connection between "Abilimpex" and this project is not elaborated in the available information, it is worth noting that similar initiatives are often part of broader efforts to cultivate patriotic and sometimes militaristic values in young people.
In the ongoing qualifying stage of the "Abilimpex" championship in Sverdlovsk Oblast, students such as Vasily Kuznetsov and Elvir Fanaikaev, who secured first place in 'Web Development' and '1C Typical Solutions Specialist' respectively, are demonstrating exceptional skills in education-and-self-development for personal-growth and learning. Their accomplishments, achieved under the guidance of coaches at the Upper Pyshma School-Internat, highlight the potential and capabilities of individuals with disabilities in various fields.
