Abstract

In 2020, almost all nations face a pandemic of COVID-19 coronavirus infection, including Russia. This virus has affected all spheres of social life, not excluding the field of education, and has required radical changes. The COVID-19 pandemic has given a strong impetus to the transition to a new education format, so students in higher education institutions have moved to a distance-learning format. With the transition to a new format, educational institutions had to face many difficulties, mainly the lack of experience and practice of mass introduction of remote access technologies to provide and receive educational services. At the same time, tremendous work has been carried out in Russia to amend the existing legislation on education, improve methods of regulating and controlling the educational process and the quality of education

Highlights

The sphere of higher education, compared with other levels of education in Russia, was, in our opinion, the most resistant to the pandemic
It is important to note that, not all higher education institutions turned out to be ready for such a transition and were able to provide the same educational process as if they were providing it within the institution's walls
The authors of the article proceed from the hypothesis that introducing several restrictions in higher education institutions in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic has created a set of problems that need to be solved

Summary

Introduction

The sphere of higher education, compared with other levels of education in Russia, was, in our opinion, the most resistant to the pandemic. It is important to note that, not all higher education institutions turned out to be ready for such a transition and were able to provide the same educational process as if they were providing it within the institution's walls. In this sense, the most problematic were technical equipment and stable Internet, which, significantly reduced and affected the quality of the educational process. The authors of the article proceed from the hypothesis that introducing several restrictions in higher education institutions in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic has created a set of problems that need to be solved. A feature of the approach was a separate analysis of different groups (technical staff, students, teachers, supervisors)
