A large-scale program for training teachers has begun in the capital, who, starting from the new school year, will teach additional courses in mathematics and natural sciences in grades one through six. This was reported by Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.
“Moscow strives to maintain its leading position in the field of education, for this we are actively strengthening the key areas that shape the future of our children. One of them is school mathematics and natural science education. As part of the development of the new training system, additional city courses in mathematics, science and technology will be introduced for Moscow students in the next academic year. They are designed for schoolchildren in grades one through six. Research shows that it is during this period that interest in the exact sciences is formed. The new classes will help create a solid foundation for further in-depth study of subjects in senior grades. They will not duplicate the school curriculum: the emphasis is on creative tasks that develop logic and analytical thinking. Teachers who will conduct such lessons have already begun to take advanced training courses. 14 thousand Moscow teachers have begun training,” said Anastasia Rakova.
The first meeting of teachers within the framework of the new program was held on April 15 at the Moscow Center for Education Quality of the capital’s Department of Education and Science. In addition, throughout the school year, teachers will receive methodological support, including monthly analysis of new tasks, consultations with specialists and additional training materials.
“The work of a teacher in this project differs from that carried out within the framework of regular school lessons. The emphasis is not on obtaining new information and reinforcing it with examples of various tasks, but on developing the child’s thinking. In order for this system to function successfully, advanced training courses have been organized for teachers, and throughout the year the Center for Pedagogical Excellence and the Moscow City Pedagogical University will provide them with methodological support,” noted the scientific director.

The city’s math, science and technology courses for students in grades one through six are unique in that they focus on solving creative problems. Special attention will be paid to developing skills that are important in the modern world. The program also does not include homework, so as not to create an additional burden. Some of the tasks within the courses will be devoted to Moscow’s opportunities and professions in demand.
As Natalya Morgunova, a primary school teacher at School No. 2090 named after Hero of the Soviet Union L.Kh. Papernik, added, today new approaches to such a subject as mathematics are needed. Because it is the basis of everything, all sciences, which will be useful to children in the future. According to the new program, children will develop skills, learn to think, solve logical problems, and not act according to a model.
For schoolchildren, classes will begin in September 2025. They will help prepare for studying in specialized classes, as well as for participation in intellectual competitions, such as the new Olympiad “Ready for Life in a Smart City.” Its tasks are aimed at primary school students and include complex questions on mathematics and the world around them.
The new city courses will not only help schoolchildren master mathematics and natural sciences better, but will also increase their interest in other subjects. The content of the classes and the methods used develop thinking, independence and educational initiative.
The task of strengthening the mathematical and natural science training of schoolchildren is included in the strategy for the development of Moscow education, approved by Sergei Sobyanin. The measures taken will help maintain the capital’s advantage in this area. Moscow is among the top five world leaders in the quality of school education – students of city educational institutions regularly show high results. In 2024, more than half of the country’s gold medals at international Olympiads were won by participants from the capital. The share of graduates who scored over 220 points in three subjects on the Unified State Exam is 38 percent.
The advanced training program is organized by the Center for Pedagogical Excellence andMoscow City Pedagogical University.
