Programme

The theme of the legal regulation of online education includes a wide array of issues, ranging from the legal status of teachers working in the online environment to the sovereignty of the national education system, which must be in lockstep with traditional values and historical education. In the future strategy for the development of education in the period until 2035, the legal regulation of online education is the cornerstone for ensuring the quality and accessibility of education. It must take into account the needs of teachers to protect their rights and interests, and also create a foundation for the sustainability and self-sufficiency of the national education system. How can legislation promote the development of online educational resources and platforms, while strengthening the connection between traditional and digital forms of learning? How can legal frameworks support innovative methods of education and learning, while combining historical heritage with modern technological advances. How can the government regulate and support the use of online platforms by bloggers and opinion leaders to disseminate educational content and educate young people? What measures are crucial to en-suring that online courses and programmes comply with national educational standards? What mechanisms for protecting copyrights in online education, as well as approaches to the licensing and accreditation of educational programmes are consistent with modern demands? The consideration of international experience and best practices in the legal regulation of online education will help identify optimal strategies for Russia in this rapidly developing area. The discussion aims to find a balance between innovation in education and the need to maintain the sovereignty of the national educational system, which requires a well thought-out and flexible legal approach.

In 2008, George had to learn English for an internship abroad. Since Moscow tutors were out of his budget, George asked a teacher from his hometown of Cheboksary to do classes via Skype. This idea turned out to be a great one, and from that time George’s vision for an online language school was born. In 2012, he recruited his 3 friends, Khariton Matveev, Andrey Yaunzem and Denis Smetnev, to help him realize that vision and create such a school.
In January 2014, the team was joined by Alexander Laryanovsky who had previously held the post of Director of International Development of Yandex In August, Skyeng launched its own platform Vimbox that allows to study English in a virtual classroom efficiently and conveniently. As for now, the solution has no parallel.
