Ensuring school facilities have modern space design and fit-out is central to deploying comfortable and effective L&D settings that are better tailored to present-day instructional and learning needs. ‘Design of Educational Spaces,’ a multilateral forum that was hosted by the IOE Center for Educational Leadership on July 12–13, sought to spotlight various design concepts and solutions for creating future-proof L&D environments.

During the 2018 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum held last week, a Memorandum of Cooperation was signed between HSE, the Moscow State University of Civil Engineering (MGSU), and Prosveshcheniye Education Holding. As part of the agreement, the two national research universities and Russia’s largest vendor of teaching and learning aids will jointly develop best-practice design and infrastructural solutions for school premises.
