Title: The education system in Russia in 2023
Abstract: In 2023, the main trends which emerged during the coronavirus pandemic and largely consolidated with the start of the special military operation in 2022 continued in the Russian education system. In the higher education, the Russian Federation announced its withdrawal from the Bologna system, and that has already led to the shrinkage of partner relations with European universities and termination of academic mobility of teachers and students, while in school education Russia found itself cut off from international comparative studies of the quality of general education conducted by the OECD – PISA, TIMSS and PIRLS. A shift is observed towards Asian, Arab and Latin American education systems through which, nevertheless, access is also provided to European/American developments in the field of education. At the same time, a new national system is being designed in the higher education system which architecture has been tested since the spring of 2023 in an experimental mode by six universities: the I. Kant Baltic Federal University, the Moscow Aviation Institute (National Research University), the National Research Technological University “MISiS”, The Moscow Pedagogical State University, The St. Petersburg Mining University (NRU) and the Tomsk National Research State University. The experiment on the new higher education system will last for three years, but some higher education establishments will be able to use its outputs in their activities even earlier, i.e. before the end of the pilot project. In 2023, as part of the experiment, about 180 new educational programs were developed and they are expected to form the basis for new federal state educational standards (FSES) and create the framework of a new higher education system in Russia
