The Minister of Education of the Russian Federation, Sergei Kravtsov, spoke at the strategic session "Development of Education in the Russian Federation until 2040." He presented the goal of the upcoming Education Development strategy and highlighted the challenges that need to be addressed.

The event took place at the National Centre RUSSIA, initiated by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, the Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science, and the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs. The organizer of the session is the Russian society Znanie.

"Our task is to prepare a strategy that reflects the consolidated opinion of the professional community, students and parents, and government bodies regarding the development of the education system until 2036, with a perspective until 2040. Much has already been done: the formation of a unified educational space is ongoing, and schools are implementing a unified upbringing program. It is crucial to solidify these trends so that graduates love their homeland, adhere to traditional spiritual and moral values. Additionally, schools must provide broad knowledge and prepare students for professional education," said Sergei Kravtsov.

The head of the Ministry of Education of Russia expressed gratitude to everyone involved in this large-scale effort. He emphasized that the preparation of the document is coordinated by the Executive Office of the President of Russia, the Government of Russia, and personally by the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Chernyshenko. The draft strategy is being discussed with representatives of the regions.

The Minister of Education of the Russian Federation highlighted that it is crucial for the members of the working groups to define the goal and mission of the Education Development strategy, establish specific outcomes for all areas covered by the document, and determine how these outcomes will be measured.

As Sergei Kravtsov explained, the Education Development strategy must take into account contemporary challenges. These include the rapid changes in the labor market, demographic issues, the need to ensure scientific-technological and industrial sovereignty, large-scale digitalization of all spheres of life, economic-administrative barriers, unprecedented sanctions and ideological pressure, and other factors.

The Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, Valery Falkov, emphasized the importance of collaborative efforts in preparing the strategy.

"The document should establish a unified conceptual framework for the entire education system, define long-term goals and objectives, as well as the mission and values of education. It is significant that work on the strategy, particularly regarding higher and supplementary education, is being carried out in active collaboration with representatives of higher education institutions, other educational levels, leading employers, scientists, and public figures," said Valery Falkov.

The Head of Rosmolodezh, Grigory Gurov, underlined that the elaboration of the Education Development strategy is a shared task for the education sector, the youth policy system, public institutions, and the regions.

"Engaging the family community and employers in its discussion is particularly important to us. Only together can we achieve the major federal goals that lie before us. When discussing the quality of education, we must always remember that an integral part of it is the system of character-building work. This system defines the direction in which the acquired knowledge will be applied. For us, this is undoubtedly the sovereign interests of our state, meeting the needs of society and every citizen," noted Grigory Gurov.

The Head of Rosobrnadzor, Anzor Muzayev, spoke about the joint efforts with the Russian Ministry of Education to develop the Education Development strategy for the period up to 2036, with a perspective extending to 2040. He emphasized the importance of establishing a system for objectively assessing the quality of the document’s implementation.

"Representatives of the parent community, professionals, and students from our educational institutions have participated in the Strategy's development. We have already done a tremendous amount of joint work, and I am confident that today’s event will mark a new step toward improving the quality of the materials prepared by the working groups. Let me highlight that the quality of education is the key indicator. It is crucial for us to verify the existing indicators and establish an objective assessment of the strategy's implementation quality over the years," said Anzor Muzayev.

Maxim Dreval, Director General of the Russian society Znanie, also participated in the strategic session.

"Today, at the National Centre RUSSIA, we held a strategic session on the development of education in the country up to 2040. Over 200 representatives from federal and regional authorities are contributing to the proposals that will form part of the new Education strategy. This is an important, systemic document that will establish modern approaches to raising younger generations and elevate education in the country to a new level," said Maxim Dreval.

The Education Development strategy up to 2036, with a perspective extending to 2040, is being developed in accordance with the directive of Russian President Vladimir Putin and aims to comprehensively prepare younger generations for future challenges. More than 650 people are involved in drafting the strategy, including experts in education, leaders and professors of educational institutions, representatives of the academic community (teachers, scientists), specialized non-profit organizations, businesses, and state corporations. Representatives from all 89 constituent entities of the Russian Federation are participating in the strategy's development, including schoolchildren, students, and their parents.

Feedback from the public is collected through regular research by VCIOM and surveys on the "Gosuslugi" portal.
