Problems of Preschool Education in the Russian Federation in the Context of the Digital Economy

Abstract

This article analyzes approaches to implementation of national projects in the area of preschool education in the context of digital economy. We show that declaration of ideas, goals and objectives at the federal level of government does not match with the methods of implementation on dreams level (at the level of the regional, local authorities). Such approaches, which have no general relationship with reality at the local level, distort the obtained result and result in ineffective spending of budget funds. Digitalization might become a solution to this by offering transparent and clear framework for funding and supporting preschool education. The private sector in the field of preschool education has significant weight in the quality of education received by preschool children. Citizens are in unequal conditions when they receive education in private educational institutions for a fixed fee. We are talking about violation of the constitutional right of citizens to free education, violation of the constitutional principle of equality.
