The Ministry of Education of Russia, which abandoned the Bologna system and switched to specialist programs to improve the quality of teacher training throughout the country, a spokesman for the ministry told Vedomosti.
“With the transition to the Bologna system according to the model “bachelor’s degree – the disappearance of the master’s degree”, the specialty disappeared and a specific qualification was indicated. This requirement requires a requirement in the labor market, since the qualification of “bachelor / master of pedagogical education” does not correlate in any way with the specific profession “teacher of a subject,” the representative of the department said. The Ministry of Education was also worried that profile training, especially the subject part, had been reduced.

The “Core” itself is ready for implementation in pedagogical universities as early as September 1, 2022.”
