Education

What are the future prospects for young people when educational and career opportunities are sharply limited by geographical isolation and a mono-industrial labour market? In a new study, Ekaterina Pavlenko and Daria Tolstykh from the Centre for Vocational Education and Skills Development examine how young people in a Russian Arctic monotown construct themselves as agentic  through vocational education and training (VET).

What different routes do students take when moving from vocational education to higher education? And how might students’ backgrounds and the institutions they attend shape these pathways? These questions provide a starting point for a new study by Elizaveta Korotkikh, Research Assistant at the Centre for Vocational Education and Skills Development, and Vera Maltseva, Director of the Centre.

In June, Madina Davlatova, Deputy Director of the Department of Educational Programmes at the HSE Institute of Education, completed a research internship at Beijing Normal University (BNU). The visit focused on exploring transformations in teaching and learning practices in the age of artificial intelligence, as well as studying international approaches to researching the impact of AI on education.
