The education system transformation during and post COVID-19

Abstract

The article presents various approaches to the transformation of the modern education system in the world in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors suggest the following recommendations based on the research: a) the authorities should focus on developing strategies for rapid implementation of specific measures to support students and teachers throughout the forced break in the educational process; b) technical and organizational support is needed for the population of Russian regions due to various reasons that don’t have the necessary equipment, Internet connection and other online tools; c) protecting the rights of employees in secondary and higher education; d) ensuring social equality and inclusiveness, avoiding additional social stratification; e) protecting the personal information of students and teachers, preventing or minimizing risks arising from interaction in the virtual space, including cyberbullying. Also the authors believe that the forced mass transition contributes to the fact that distance technologies are expected to boom in the near future, which has been discussed for several years. Experts in the field of educational policy predict the flourishing of e-learning in Russia. It is predicted that educational institutions will not return to the traditional format of education in full after the end of the quarantine.
