Regional players

• Krasnoyarsk State Pedagogical University named after V.P. Astafyev: State pedagogical university in Krasnoyarsk Krai under the Ministry of Education. Direct Siberian peer with similar teacher-training, language education, and continuous professional development offerings; competes for Siberian applicants and federal project funding.
