“We need specialists in the field of computer science, we simply do not have them. For a variety of reasons, you and I very much launched in schools, dropped this subject below the plinth, ”said Vasilyeva, emphasizing the importance of training competitive specialists, and not just digital ones.
According to her, teachers need to understand the causes of digitalization in schools and their involvement in this process.
Also, Vasilyeva called on regional managers not to intimidate teachers with the introduction of new tools, but to explain its significance.
Earlier, the chairman of the Federation Council, Valentina Matvienko, appreciated the role of digitalization in education, assuring that it “forces the teaching process to change, encourages teachers to learn new teaching methods.”
