Pyatigorsk State University celebrated the opening of a Mother and Child Room, created as part of the "Help Mom Study" project.

PSU Rector Alexander Pavlovich Gorbunov ceremoniously cut the red ribbon. He noted the importance of creating comfortable conditions for young parents, wished them well-being, and emphasized that the university will continue to develop support measures for students and staff with children.

Olga Viktorovna Petrova, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, warmly congratulated the gathered young parents with children, representatives of the university's management, and its public organizations on the opening of the Mother and Child Room via video link. She noted the importance of achieving the goals of the national "Family" project and creating opportunities for parents to combine education and professional work with childcare.

The equipment for these cozy rooms was funded by a targeted subsidy from the Russian Ministry of Education and Science and co-financing from PSU. The new space is now available to students and staff with children. Its premises are equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable short-term stay with a child: a place for feeding and changing, a children's play area, a bathroom, and a relaxation area.
