As you know higher education trains highly-qualified specialists for further development and progress of the country. The students


making good progress get state grants. The course of study at the universities lasts about six years. The students take three or four years of general engineering and fundamental courses, then one or two years of specialized training in some fields of science and tech­nology. In the first and second years a good foundation for profes­sional knowledge is provided. At present there are many modern laboratories at institutes. Most higher schools have their own com­puter centers. This means that the state must spend a lot of money to improve higher education.
