"The integration of Spherum into the national messenger MAX is an important step towards creating a unified digital educational environment. Now teachers, students and parents have a convenient, safe and modern tool for communication, learning and knowledge exchange," he said, speaking at the All—Russian Meeting of Regional Ministers of Education in Moscow. Kravtsov's words are quoted by the VK press service.

According to him, the application focuses on data protection and user comfort in order to make the digital space of the school even more accessible and efficient.

Spheres at MAX will not only allow for communication on studies, but will also include relevant learning services. The messenger will feature integration with electronic diaries, an interactive whiteboard, File Collection, Student Assistant, Rosobrnadzor Assistant, and Pushkin Map Chatbot. Advanced functionality and a personal badge of distinction will remain for teachers.

Among the new features of Spherum, there is also a single access to educational services and educational materials using the FGIS Moya Shkola, the Gosuslugi Moya Shkola application with grades, schedules and homework. Including the "Spherum" in MAX will provide an opportunity to exchange and sign documents.

At the moment, the service already has a chatbot "Proposals to the Minister of Education of the Russian Federation", where teachers can send questions and appeals to Kravtsov.

Starting on August 25, the space will open to users from Tatarstan, Altai, the Republic of Mari El, the Vladimir and Tver regions, as well as the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug.
