How do students actually feel at school, and how does this change as they grow older? Does well-being decline with age, and do boys and girls experience school differently? A new study by researchers from the Centre for Psychometrics and Measurement in Education at the HSE Institute of Education offers new evidence-based answers to these questions, with important implications for schools and education policy.

The KIVO Innovations in Education Contest, curated by the Laboratory for Educational Innovation Research at the HSE Institute of Education, is a long-running platform for identifying, supporting and connecting educational innovators. In 2025, the contest once again demonstrated its scale and relevance by attracting a record number of participants and showcasing diverse educational solutions. It reinforced its role as not only a competition, but also a sustainable professional community.

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.
