Issues of regulating the quality of educational content were discussed at the Exposition

In Pavilion No. 57 "Education. Decade of Science and Technology", an expert discussion entitled "Infobusiness: How to Regulate the Quality of Educational Content" was held in the lecture hall of the Russian Society "Knowledge". State Duma deputies, representatives of Rosobrnadzor and experts analyzed the measures to be taken to regulate educational content on the Internet and social networks.

The event was attended by Olga Kazakova, Chair of the State Duma Committee on Education; Elena Grin, Deputy Head of the Intellectual Rights Department of the O.E. Kutafin Moscow State Law University; Elizaveta Belyakova, Chair of the Alliance for the Protection of Children in the Digital Environment; and Svetlana Kochetova, Deputy Head of the Federal Service for Supervision of Education. Boris Chernyshov, Deputy Speaker of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, moderated the discussion.

"We passed an important law on banning cell phones in classrooms. It was discussed quite widely and was aimed at ensuring that our children did not engage in the blogosphere instead of studying during lessons, which hindered their learning. All parents agreed with the ban. We have also adopted a law, according to which we will have a lesson " "Fundamentals of Security and Protection of the Motherland", where we will also organize courses and modules in which children will study all issues related to the information environment, security, so that they do not fall for various fakes and know how to resist them," said Olga Kazakova.

Svetlana Kochetova warned against rash actions to buy trainings from bloggers who do not have the appropriate education and can do harm.

"From personal experience I can say that I subscribed to one blogger to understand the processes of how business schemes are organized. All my questions were not answered, her diplomas and other documents she provided on the blog were not verified. Nevertheless, she earned billions of rubles, convincing people that she has skills and psychological education. Yet all these people earn huge amounts of money, hide their incomes, and control our minds.

I believe that we should have a professional community that would filter and prevent such people from reaching the masses. Admission to these activities should be in safe hands," Svetlana Kochetova is convinced.

The Continuing Education Forum, organized by the Russian Society "Knowledge" and the Mashuk Knowledge Centre, is intended to become a key platform for discussing current issues of supplementary education in Russia. "Knowledge" is the general educational partner of the Exposition.
