Risks in education abroad: measures to eliminate them (experience of different countries)
New conditions of social development and rapid technological progress caused the emergence of various risks, including in education, and required urgent measures in all countries to eliminate them. Based on a comparative analysis of state documents in the field of education, the author identifies common risks in education (inconsistency of the quality of education with new conditions and requirements of life; lack of equal access for all to quality education; insufficient use of information and communication technologies in education; non-compliance of teacher training with new guidelines and requirements, etc.). Measures taken at the state level are both general in nature and have national specifics. In countries with a high quality of education, the emphasis is on creating a flexible educational space and individual learning trajectories, bringing formal and non-formal education closer together, selecting motivated teachers; in countries only striving for high results, it is on changing curricula, educational content, and teaching methods. The choice of countries is due to their status in international studies of the quality of education: countries with high results (Estonia, Lithuania, Finland, Singapore) and countries striving to improve them (Czech Republic, Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Slovakia) are represented.
