The development of online technologies is turning into a new super task of the education system. This was stated by the rector of “University 2035” Nina Yanykina during the presentation of the study “University campuses and the city. Increasing the competitiveness of Russian education.”

“Individualization of the educational process and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to form the educational trajectory will contribute to the harmonious and effective formation of a specialist. Online leadership is becoming a new super task of the education system,” Nina Yanykina emphasized.

“We should not forget about the unique competence of the university in the global sense – search, predictive function, the ability to work with the future. We will continue to support this function of universities, including through assistance in the formation of growth points in universities, centers of competence for working with the future.” , – summed up Yanykina (quoted by RIA Novosti).

At the peak of the first wave of quarantine, schools were closed in 190 countries, 90% of students were forced to go online. Roughly the same thing happened with university students.
