HSE Development Programme until 2030

October at the HSE Institute of Education concluded with the XVI International Conference on Higher Education (ICHE), dedicated to the theme ‘Higher Education: Between Private and Public Good.’ This year’s event brought together over 700 participants from 32 regions of Russia and eight countries, who engaged in a vibrant discussion on the evolving role of higher education in society.

In October, the IOE’s journal published a special edition, ‘Educational Mosaic: Understanding BRICS States’, devoted to the educational systems of the BRICS countries. The articles cover all levels of education, spanning from primary schools to doctoral education. Contributors include fellows from the Institute of Education and researchers from Brazil, India, China and South Africa.

The BRICS Expert Council–Russia, based at HSE University and operating in collaboration with the HSE Institute of Education, has released an analytical report titled ‘The Transformation of General Education in BRICS Countries.’ The study explores how BRICS nations are addressing shared challenges, including equitable access to schooling, digital integration, support for inclusion, linguistic diversity, and intercultural dialogue.
