The Transboundary Educational Space of the Eurasian Union: Current Digitalization Issues

Abstract

The article clarifies the concept of cross-border education and cross-border educational space. The necessity and possibility of creating a cross-border digital educational space of the Eurasian Economic Union is considered. When creating it, it is necessary to overcome the external (high level of the international competition of educational spaces) and internal (uneven level of digitalization in the Union countries, different levels of preparedness) restrictions. For the cross-border space to function successfully, two fundamental tasks must be solved: a common digital platform has been created and a certain level of institutional design of the cross-border educational space has been achieved in each country. A cross-border educational space can be either general or single, therefore, for the Eurasian space, the experience of existing cross-border educational spaces must be used taking into account the realities of the economic and social development of the participating countries.
