About

The university was originally founded as the Kazan Teachers Institute _ru.

In the wake of the Russian Revolution, it was reorganized as the Kazan Teachers Institute in 1918.ГАУ при КМ РТ, НА РТ. "Путеводитель."

"Казанский учительский институт"] ] It was subsequently renamed Eastern Pedagogical Institute (1922), Tatar Pedagogical Institute (1931), Kazan State Pedagogical Institute (1934), and Kazan State Pedagogical University (1994). Over its history, the university's structure, role, and name have changed with the vagaries of nationalities policy, but it maintained its status as the region's leading institution for teaching. In 2005, the Tatar State Humanities University, Tatar-American Regional Institute, and Kazan State Pedagogical University merged, forming the Tatar State University of Humanities and Education.ТГГПУ.

The 2005 merger created four new faculties, bringing the total to sixteen, with 28 majors and a total enrollment of more than 15,000 students.ТГГПУ. [http://tggpu.ru/ru/node/50 "Университет сегодня"] .] In accordance with the Republic of Tatarstan's language policies and the university's role in Tatar education, some faculties offer lectures and coursework in both Russian and Tatar. Part of the fourth year of undergraduate study is an internship in the field of study, often including student-teaching.
