B Republic of Tatarstan. Lyceum. These are free courses for school students of 8-9 classes, wishing to master programming. Now here are trained 113 people who have passed competitive selection.

the Netherlands programmer Guido van Rossum in the late eighties.

"Language was called at all in honor of a reptile. Actually as idea for its name popular British comedy show of the seventieth "Monty Payton's flying circus" served. Meanwhile, the Python all the same compare to a snake about what the emblem" tells even him much more often, - the representative of Ministry of information and communication of the Republic of Tatarstan explained "Essences of Events".

the Python, according to him, has a number of advantages before other languages. It is clear almost intuitively, has "transparent" syntax. It means that the program code in this language is read much easier that reduces time not only for its writing, but also for various completions and checks. Having completed a programming course in this language, the person will gain not only concrete knowledge, but also opportunity to realize the creative nature, creating applications and programs useful to.

on two years. The first year children get acquainted with the theory and carry out the simple projects, the second - is mastered by technologies in practice. Occupations take place on several platforms: in Kazan Federal University (KFU) IT lyceum, the Kazan technical school of information technologies and communications, in gorod Innopolis (the satellite town Kazan) - in "Lyceum Innopolis", in Naberezhnye Chelny - in science and technology park "Kvantorium". Besides, in the Kazan lyceum boarding school No. 2 the special group is open for pupils LLC "YANDEKS". Lyceum.

taking into account lesson schedules in the main place of study of children. "Our occupations take place two times a week in the second half of day, but not later than 18 hours.

Lyceum" Suslova Marina.

She noted that this project is not the competitor of the school program of informatics. "Informatics lessons it are much wider, than programming is simple. We speak about starting programming. Our courses expand informatics lessons, they do not replace them, - emphasized Suslova Marina.

in Republic of Tatarstan created Today favorable conditions for preparation and further developments highly qualified specialists in the IT sphere is and strongest highest and average educational institutions, and a large number of the innovative enterprises. "We are glad to take part in the joint project with LLC "YANDEKS" thanks to which our school students will be able already to receive demanded professional education in the 9th class", - the deputy prime minister declared Republic of Tatarstan - the minister of informatization and communication Shaykhutdinov Roman at a ceremony of opening LLC "YANDEKS".

He considers that today within school educations there is no system profound studying of the questions connected with information technologies.
