Today, Secondary School No. 1 of Solikamsk opened an engineering class, in which Uralkali invested RUB 8.5 million. The funds were allocated to purchase modern lab systems for the study of chemistry, physics and computer science. In the future, it is planned to purchase interactive equipment and furniture. As part of this project, the students enrolled in the engineering class will study physics, mathematics, chemistry and computer science at an advanced level in order to develop their engineering competencies as well as their research and innovation skills.
