yy Lal A. 16 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, February 12, 1991 USSR sign education exchange with Durham College Its a long way from Oshawa to Lipetsk, USSR. But the distance narrowed somewhat last Friday as offi- cials from Lipetsk were in Oshawa to sign the final details of an education exchange with Durham College. "Everybody will benefit from the agreement," said Don Michie, vice president of Dur- ham College last Friday as members of the Russian delega- tion toured the College's busi- ness and technology labs. Essentially, the agreement calls for Durham College to set up a business school at the Li- petsk Polytechnical Institute. _ The program is expected to in operation by this September with Durham College staff trav- elling to Lipetsk to set up the curriculum, the planning and provide language instruction to both teachers and students in the Soviet Union. And there may be students A delegation of Soviets was at Durham College last week to sign an educational agree- exchanges between the two school at some future date. The delegations that was present at Durham College last Friday included Vladimir To- porkov, chairman of the Lipetsk Region Executive Council, along with five directors of agri- cultural organizations. Lipetsk is a city of about 500,000, located 400 km south of Moscow. Farming is one of the main industries in the Lipetsk Re- ESR ment between Durham and Lipetsk Polytechnical Institute. The Russians also had a chance to look at some of the robotics equipment at the college. The delegation is at right in photo.

In fact, of the the largest (40,000 employees) most mod- ern steel making facilities in the Soviet Union is located at Lipetsk. "The business school that will be set up by Durham Col- lege will teach the Russians marketing, production and business courses, along with English language instruction. These will be taught at two levels: to people already in busi~ ness or industry, and to full time students at the Polytech. The agreement is a first within Canada, and aside from the obvious cultural- educational benefits, Durham College will receive money for its involvement in the program. The agreement was initiat- ed by Strategic Marketing Con- cepts last fall. This company purchases over-capacity products from the Soviets, sells them on the open international market and pays the Soviets hard currency. The company also lines up technical and education ex- changes to provide the skills and training the Soviets badly need if they are to compete in the international marketplace. About six Soviets will spend time at Durham College this summer, working to set the program up, and in September four staff from Durham will travel to Lipetsk to start work there. They will stay at least 16 weeks. The Polytech in Lipetsk has about 3,000 full-time stu- dents and is geared almost ex- clusively to technical courses of study. The Russian delegation last week got a first -hand look at Durham College's computer course, robotics, and business management. They also toured the huge General Motors plant in Oshawa and the Lasco steel plantin Whitby. This education exchange betweek Durham College and Lipetsk is believed to be the first of its kind in Canada. And if successful it will serve as a working model for other similar exchanges be- tween Canada and the Soviet Union.
