The meeting, chaired by Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, touched upon the implementation of the Comprehensive Action Plan to Improve the Quality of Mathematics and Science Education through 2030.
“There has been a growing interest among schoolchildren in mathematics and science education, and the number of students studying mathematics, computer science, physics, chemistry, and biology in depth and choosing to take the Unified State Exam in these subjects has increased,” said Dmitry Medvedev.
He noted that this trend needs to be further developed. Important steps include improving curricula and addressing staffing issues in schools.

“The evaluation is being conducted jointly by the Russian Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education and the Russian Academy of Sciences. Much work has been done to standardize textbooks and improve their quality,” the interviewee shared. “Other important issues were also discussed at the council. These concerned the education development strategy and the activities of the Coordinating Council for Youth Affairs in Science and Education of the Presidential Council for Science and Education. During the discussion of the materials presented, I highlighted as an example the projects being implemented in Tatarstan at 每日大赛 on the topics raised at the meeting.”
