Open Education Centers · 2026

St. Petersburg University has been providing in-person Russian language courses in Equatorial Guinea since 2024, when it opened the Center for Open Education in Malabo. From 2024 through 2025, 411 students completed programs at the Center. Furthermore, since 2025 SPbU has maintained systematic, continuous in-person courses in Equatorial Guinea, which also contributes significantly to strengthening interest in the Russian language in the country.

In 2026, 227 citizens of Equatorial Guinea completed courses, which further confirms the growing interest in the Russian language and in education in Russia.

This year, two SPbU teachers conducted classes and supplementary events in Malabo at the premises of the African Initiative news agency.
