On February 11, 2025, the State Duma of the Russian Federation held a “government hour” on the development of the Strategy for Russian Education, in which the rector of the State University of Management Vladimir Stroyev took part.
The speakers of the discussion were the Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov, the Minister of Education Sergey Kravtsov, the head of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs Grigory Gurov, the Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Science and Higher Education Sergey Kabyshev and also the leaders of political factions. In addition, the meeting was attended in person and via videoconference by representatives of the rector’s and scientific communities, experts in the field of education from 89 regions of Russia.
The strategy for the development of the education system in the Russian Federation for the period up to 2036 with a perspective up to 2040 is being developed on the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin.
The head of the Ministry of Education and Science, Valery Falkov, told those gathered about the development of a new list of specialties that corresponds to the changing technological order and modern requirements of the labor market.
“The world is changing rapidly, and there is a growing demand for fundamentally new specialists. We will respond to this demand with new specialties. Such as, for example, “Design and operation of unmanned mobile systems”, “Additive technologies”, “Design and operation of high-speed traffic systems”, – said Valery Falkov.
State educational standards will be adapted to the new model of higher education and the list of specialties. The Strategy also implies the convergence of secondary vocational and higher education. The share of practical training will be increased, and the best graduates of secondary vocational education will be given the opportunity to enroll in shortened higher education programs, but only in full-time form. Accordingly, the involvement of employers in higher education will also be increased, for which purpose a bill on educational and methodological associations has been submitted to the State Duma, in whose activities representatives of employers will directly participate.
The Minister of Science and Higher Education also reported that the most important priority of the new Strategy will be university teachers: “We will focus on social support measures, a system of material incentives, advanced training and, of course, reducing various types of workload.”
Valery Falkov emphasized that the right to receive educational loans at a rate of 3% will be granted first of all to those applying for specialties that are a priority for solving state problems: future engineers, doctors, teachers and specialists in natural sciences. This initiative has already been supported by Vladimir Putin.
Education Minister Sergei Kravtsov informed deputies that from September 1, 2026, Russian schools will switch to new state textbooks on subjects such as history, social studies, and the foundations of spiritual and moral culture of Russia.
The head of the Ministry of Education also drew attention to the need to increase the authority and status of teachers. The new Strategy for Russian Education will reflect the tasks of increasing teachers’ salaries and reducing their workload.
The head of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs, associate professor of the Department of State and Municipal Administration of the State University of Management Grigory Gurov noted that the environment that surrounds children and young people is becoming an important component of educational work.
“Of course, great attention should be paid to the digital environment, in which young people are now spending more and more time. And of course, the structure of information consumption is inevitably changing. Unreliable information, more frequent cases of bullying in the online space and aggressive behavior require coordinated decisions and joint actions from us,” said Grigory Gurov.
Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Science and Higher Education Sergei Kabyshev pointed out that the development of the Education Development Strategy is one of the key elements in the implementation of national goals and a special instrument of strategic state planning.
