Moscow International Education Fair 2020
The pandemic directly reduced the demand for services in the supplementary education sector, and the economic crisis is leading to a reduction in the population's capacity to pay in the nearest future. Together, this creates risks not only for stability, but also for the preservation of the non-state sector in education, which in recent years has begun to play a significant role, providing variability and quality of services, up-front implementation of innovative products.
The participants of the event considered two basic scenarios for the development of the situation - systematic recovery, the return of the market to the pre-crisis level and "the revival of private education from the ashes." What is the state doing and what should it do to support the non-state sector? The following measures to support the sector were discussed: tax holidays and benefits, anti-crisis rental rates, simplified reporting, placement of government orders and much more. What mechanisms could be effective in the long term?
