"I'm grateful for the opportunity to experience being a steelworker." A graduate of the Kuzbass Architectural College delivered a diatribe at her graduation ceremony. 

Alina, a graduate who studied in the specialty "production of non-metallic structures", He accused She accused teachers of unprofessionalism and unethical treatment of students. She began her speech with the usual formal speech, filled with platitudes of gratitude, but then continued unexpectedly. 

"I'm grateful for the knowledge I gained and the opportunity to experience what it's like to work as a steelworker [applause and laughter in the audience]. I could say that, but the reality is a bit different. Perhaps our group is an exception, and we've been so lucky over the past four years. I can proudly say that I'm completely disillusioned with my profession," spoke Alina from the stage, visibly nervous.

A minute later, the girl's microphone was cut off, but she continued speaking. Alina said that teachers often groundlessly accused students of lying, and one of the college professors took a student's drawing from him and gave it to another.

"It felt like the teachers thought it was normal for young girls to do internships as steel workers and carry 24 kg," Alina said, comparing college to a "sinking ship." She later reported journalists who were inspired by the example of a graduate from Tambov, who declared at the graduation ceremony, that she “entered the regional medical college, but graduated from a scam.” 

In the Ministry of Education of the Kemerovo Region, commenting on Alina’s speech,  statedThe girl "herself requested to be assigned to an internship at the Kemerovo DSK," where she "acquired professional skills, including in the blue-collar profession of 'reinforcement worker.'" According to a ministry representative, there were no "complaints or comments" about the internship from other students or parents during her entire education.
