What does success after university really look like today? Is it still a straightforward journey from graduation to a stable career, or are graduates increasingly navigating more complex routes through education and employment?

In our annual review, we look back at the key milestones, research highlights, international partnerships, and events that shaped the year at the Institute of Education.

In September and October, Diana Koroleva, Scientific director of the Laboratory for Educational Innovation Research at the Institute of Education, participated in several significant international academic and policy-oriented events in Europe and Asia. These included the CEPE 2025 Conference in Rome, the G20 Education Forum and the APEC International Forum on Lifelong Vocational Skills Training, both of which were held in Beijing.

In September 2025, Elizaveta Korotkikh and Natalia Rosenfeld, who are both fellows of the Centre for Vocational Education and Skills Development and participants of  the Academic Postgraduate Programme for outstanding PhD candidates, completed a research visit to Tongji University in Shanghai and other leading Chinese universities.

In August, the Director of the Institute of Education, Prof Evgeniy Terentev, and the Head of International Affairs, Maksim Nikitin, visited top-ranking Hong Kong universities to network. They also attended the AIEdu2025 conference to exchange knowledge about the influence of artificial intelligence on education.

This July in Shanghai, more than 50 researchers from nine countries—from Russia and China to Canada and Singapore—gathered for the International Summer Institute on Artificial Intelligence in Education. For several days, the city became a global hub of discussion on how universities are responding to the rapid rise of AI.

A group of students, faculty, and alumni from the HSE Institute of Education’s Master’s program in Education Administration recently took part in a short-term study trip to China, where they explored the local education system. Their itinerary included visits to Tsinghua University in Beijing, East China Normal University in Shanghai, six schools, and a kindergarten.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, understanding the capabilities and limitations of large language models (LLMs) in specialized fields such as education is crucial. A study by Elena Kardanova, Alina Ivanova, Ksenia Tarasova, Taras Pashchenko, Aleksei Tikhoniuk, Elen Yusupova, Anatoly Kasprzhak, Yaroslav Kuzminov, Ekaterina Kruchinskaia, and Irina Brun, introduces a novel psychometrics-based methodology to assess LLM performance in the field of pedagogy. By focusing on the educational domain and developing a robust benchmark tailored for LLM evaluation, the authors offer new insights into the strengths and weaknesses of these models.

From 23 to 28 June 2024, the delegation of HSE University made a number of visits to leading universities in China. During the visit, representatives of the Institute of Education — Maxim Nikitin and Svetlana Zhuchkova — shared current results and ideas of the strategic project "Success and Self-Sustainability of the Individual in a Changing World" and exchanged proposals for cooperation in future research and projects.

At the BRICS Civil Society Forum, leaders of non-profit organizations and experts discussed the future of education in their countries. Experts from the Institute of Education actively participated in the forum. The meeting led to a number of suggestions for deepening cooperation in this field.
