The article deals with the problems of the development of the securities market of the Republic of Armenia. The main changes that have occurred in recent years in the securities market in the Republic of Armenia have been investigated. Methods for analyzing the securities market of the Republic of Armenia are proposed. The indicators of the securities market are considered and the main trends of its development are revealed. This article presents the structure of the securities market of the Republic of Armenia in terms of trading volume. We chose the macroeconomic analysis as a method of our research, as it constitutes an integral element for the fundamental analysis of the securities market. With the help of the macroeconomic analysis an investor effects vigilance and analyses of the basic economic indicators; thus he also defines the extent of their influence on the securities market dynamic. It is the macroeconomic analysis that provides investors with the possibility to define which element of the financial market (securities, currency, credit) is currently the most profitable and attractive for to invest into.

The need for developing a teacher’s digital competency requires the creation of a fundamental scientific base for the process of training teachers and their professional development to enable them to work in the context of digitization of general education. In the Covid-19 pandemic, global transformations are taking place in the field of education. All regions of Russia have switched completely into remote mode. According to Interfax, based on the research of the Higher School of Economics NRU, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is the best in Russia in terms of technical equipment for teachers and schoolchildren today. This study covered 22,600 teachers in 73 regions of the country. In Yakutia 61% of teachers conduct online learning, while the average in Russia is 25%. However, the common problem across all regions is that teachers, schoolchildren and their parents lack psychological readiness for a complete transition to digital education. This explains the emerging situation of conflict, background stress, as well as frequent cases of imitative distance education and e-learning. In this regard, there is a need to discuss the problems facing education in the digitization process and the need to overcome them. This paper analyses the current situation in school education in the context of digitization and a universal transition to online learning. Graduate students of the NEFU Institute for Continuing Professional Education conducted a survey of teachers and school leaders. This was aimed at identifying attitudes towards the process of digitization of school education and ownership of ICT, and some digital competencies of teachers and educational leaders. The results confirmed the relevance of the research problem and revealed the most acute contradictions associated with the lack of digital competencies among teachers in Yakutia. The study examined modern conceptual approaches to the digitization of education, the identification of digital competencies of teachers, and the development of objective measurement tools. A digital teacher competency map is being developed, with a toolkit that integrates key competencies of the digital economy and digital competencies, together with tester program (a digital simulator) to identify the formation of: (a) a set of the teacher’s core competencies in the digital economy and (b) a set of teachers’ digital competencies. The following factors were taken into account in developing the tools: conceptual approaches in modern scientific and pedagogical research to identify, identify and assess the level of formation of digital competencies of a modern teacher; methodological substantiation of cognitive modeling of the competencies studied; assumptions of the most optimal combinations of key and digital competencies for teachers of different subject areas and levels of education; interconnection and interdependence of some professional deficits associated with a deficit of key and digital competencies.

Overcoming poverty and consequences of inequality is required because poverty and inequality play a far more destructive role for modern economy than before. Eradicating poverty is one of the aims of our planet's sustainable development declared by the UN in 2015. In this study, the subject of eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions has been researched as a path of the government policy of various countries. Statistics and government support measures as well as social security for underprivileged sectors of the public have been reviewed; an analysis of the government measures aimed at rooting out squalor in Russia, Canada and Kazakhstan has been made.

We will remember this spring as a time of digital transformation in education," these words of Valery Falkov at the opening of 2020 International Moscow Salon of Education convey an atmosphere of change that has filled the entire educational sphere. Today's disputes on need for measuring teachers` professional deficits grow fast. Deficiency approach focused on revealing certain mismatch of teacher and his professional activity prevails in most studies that identify and assess the level of professional competences. Of course, this one of important tools for determining qualification gaps will be presented in research works, but in combination with activity-based approach which has proved its effectiveness. Action research is one that identifies and professional difficulties and need of teacher and logically determines routes of his professional development through the system of continuing professional education. It should be noticed that pandemic and transition to distant and online learning revealed lack of very simple skills in teachers such as proper organization of learning process in remote or online mode. Many teachers, students and their parents were not psychologically prepared for complete transition to digital education. In this regard, it is quite reasonable to highlight such challenge in education in digitalization process and need for overcoming it. The paper includes analysis of current satiation in school education in terms of digitalization and transition to online learning. The study brings together various views on methodology and mechanisms of digitalizing school education, and criteria of valid identification of teachers` digital competencies. The present study attempts to compile a passport of teacher's digital competencies and approve a pilot program called "Cognitive models and algorithms for formation of teacher's digital competence in context of digital transformation of general education". The reported study was funded by RFBR, project number 19-29-14030.

Modern universities are small cities. They have libraries, sports complexes, swimming pools, dormitories, catering, auditoriums, payment centres, and payment terminals. There are residents in them - students, teachers and employees, there are guests - applicants, parents, employers, and partners. In order to let all these work, the proper and effective management system is to be developed. Each resident and guest of the university should have an appropriate access to the resources and services according to their role. The development of digital technologies in a single university is not yet an indicator of quality of education since such technologies are just a tool. Universities are implementing a non-profit mission, but processes are becoming more and more business units, which involves the use of business management technologies in education to increase its effectiveness in the digital economy. In order to learn how to use it in a most effective way, experience of the foreign universities where such a model is already well applied and developed is crucial. In this regard, the article considers the mechanism of implementation of this system.
