«Truly enlightened person never fights» -- this is the wisdom of the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao-Tzu quoted the Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of the Primorsky territory Victor Gorchakov, the opening of the 2nd conference of APEC «Mobility of higher education in the Asia-Pacific countries». A representative international forum was held in the University on the Russky island. «The future of any state is based on the effectiveness of the education system, - said the speaker of the regional Parliament Viktor Gorchakov. "We have entered the age in which knowledge and professional skills will play a determining role. Therefore, the relevance of education to the modern requirements and challenges of the time, its competitiveness within the country and in the world - all this concerns not only teachers, but also the local authorities, the fundamental science, our businessmen and Industrialists, and, of course, society in General». In fact, the formation of the single educational space APEC on the basis of the Association of Pacific rim universities (APRU) was the main theme of discussion of the XVII annual meeting of rectors of APRU, which took place in University on the eve. Conference «the Mobility of higher education in the countries of the Asia-Pacific region» was held within its framework, and became a logical continuation of the discussion. The meeting participants are sure that development of interaction, active exchange of knowledge and experience, participation of students and teachers in international exchanges and joint programmes will improve the level of education, will open new perspectives for the students. Networking Asia-Pacific universities give students the opportunity to listen to lectures by the best professors of different universities and thus to acquire unique knowledge.
