Muzayev spoke about the development of a unified BRICS and EAEU approach to student assessment

Work on the creation of an international educational quality assessment system for the BRICS and EAEU countries continues. This was announced on June 3 in the Izvestia studio at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) by the head of Rosobrnadzor, Anzor Muzaev.

"Each country chooses its own standard of education, schooling, and its own approaches. And making a model that would suit everyone is a rather complicated and lengthy process. The work doesn't stop, it goes on," he explained.

According to him, each country uses its own educational standards and approaches to schooling, so developing a unified model that suits all participants requires time and serious preparation. At the same time, work on the project continues.

Muzayev noted that the new system should help to get an objective idea of the level of knowledge of schoolchildren in the BRICS and EAEU countries, as well as identify and solve common problems in the field of education. The first stages of research may begin in the coming years.

The head of Rosobrnadzor also recalled that Russia was excluded from some international studies, including PISA. In his opinion, this decision did not have a negative impact on the quality of Russian education.

"Due to the fact that they wanted to restrict our country everywhere — in sports, culture, including our children — they decided to restrict participation in such studies. But we have conducted and are conducting our own research format, and this does not in any way affect our quality of education," Muzaev summed up.

He stressed that despite restrictions in various fields, Russia continues to conduct its own research and monitoring of the quality of education, which allows students to maintain a high level of education.

Modest miscalculations: up to 15% of the microbusiness may be at risk of closure in 2026.

What is the reason for this and which industries are most vulnerable?

On the same day, Alexander Kalinin, President of Opora Russia, said that many startups in Russia stop working after a few years after launch due to insufficient training of entrepreneurs. Kalinin noted that the average life expectancy of startups in Russia is only three to four years, which is largely due to the lack of relevance of educational approaches.
