What will change in schools from September 1: for children, parents and teachers
On September 1, 2025, important changes will come into force in Russian schools. Improved assessment system, unified schedules, digitalization of the educational process and adaptation of school uniforms — all these innovations await students, parents and teachers. Find out how they will affect the learning process and preparation for the new academic year.
Digitalization of the educational process
As part of the increasing digitalization of education, the Russian Ministry of Education is working with VK to integrate the Spherum platform into the national messenger MAX. By the beginning of the new school year, this integration is expected to provide students, parents, and teachers with access to key functions of Spherum on a convenient and familiar platform.
"Spherum will also be launched into the national messenger in order to enhance the information security of the entire Russian information space," the Russian Ministry of Education said.
First of all, the platform will include tools. The new platform will feature key functions of Spherum and new relevant services for education. It is assumed that the integration of the Spherum platform into the national messenger MAX will help simplify the exchange of information and increase the effectiveness of educational processes.
School uniform according to GOST
Rosstandart presented a version of GOST regulating the requirements for school uniforms. According to the new standard, the uniform should not only be comfortable, but also comply with aesthetic and hygienic standards. The GOST specifies the requirements for the materials from which the form should be made, its style, as well as the color range and design.
As part of the innovation, it is assumed that certain elements, such as collars and cuffs, must be present. The sizes will be standardized for different age groups. Clothes should not have sharp edges and edges, and they should be made of hypoallergenic material.
The changes are designed to increase the comfort of schoolchildren and simplify the process of choosing and buying school uniforms for parents. The new GOST also sets standards for ensuring the availability of clothing and its durability.
Approbation of the student behavior assessment system
On September 1, 2025, schools in several Russian regions will begin testing a new system for assessing student behavior. This pilot project will cover 84 educational organizations, as reported by the Ministry of Education. These schools are located in the Novgorod, Yaroslavl, Tula regions, the Lugansk People's Republic, the Chechen Republic and the Republic of Mordovia.
As part of the pilot, it is assumed that the behavior of students will be evaluated according to a number of criteria that will be established taking into account the general opinion and positions of teaching staff and the parent community.
The grade will be given by the homeroom teacher, taking into account the opinions of the teachers working with the child and the administration of the educational organization. The innovation will not affect the graduating classes in order to avoid tension.
Uniform schedules for schools
Olga Koludarova, Deputy Minister of Education of Russia, said that unified schedules along with methodological recommendations will be sent to the regions in the near future. The decision became part of the state program for the modernization of school education and was aimed at improving the organization of the educational process in educational institutions.
It is assumed that all schools in the country will have a standard time frame for school days, which the school will be able to adapt to its curricula at each level of education. Unified schedules are designed to simplify the lives of both students and parents.
What should parents do?
The beginning of a new school year is always exciting, both for children and for parents, especially if it is a transition to a new school, class, or if the senior level of education begins. In order for parents to face September with confidence and minimize stress, it is important to prepare properly not only for children, but also for themselves.
The first thing that is important to understand is that each new academic year brings with it not only loads, but also new opportunities. Remind yourself that it's not so much the amount of knowledge that matters, but the experience and skills that a student acquires this year. Discuss with your child what exactly he is interested in in the new school year: what subjects, what activities, what he expects from communicating with classmates and teachers.
Preparing for the school year is not only about buying school uniforms, office supplies, and textbooks, but also about thinking through all the little things that will help save time and effort throughout the year. It will be useful to develop a list of necessary items and arrange purchases in advance to avoid stressful situations on the eve of September 1.
Parents should also help their children organize their time. For example, you can pre-arrange the hours that the child will spend on homework, as well as activities after school. It is important to establish regular rest periods to avoid overloads and stress.
How can a teacher organize effective work and keep motivated
To start the new academic year with maximum productivity and motivation, it is important for teachers not only to update their knowledge and skills, but also to take care of psychological preparation, create a comfortable working atmosphere and establish relationships with students and their parents. By investing in training, teachers will be able to significantly improve the quality of the educational process and make the school year a success for both themselves and their students.
Before the start of the school year, it is useful to recall modern educational methods, new teaching approaches and new technologies that can be introduced into the classroom. Refreshing your knowledge of the subject will help you feel confident and prepared. This can be done through advanced training courses, seminars, as well as reading specialized journals and articles.
Planning is the key to an effective learning process. Think through the main points of the learning process in advance: create a calendar of events, tests and exams, as well as think about extracurricular activities and school projects. A well-planned schedule not only helps you organize your work hours, but also makes it easier to work with students.
The new academic year can be stressful, and it is important to pay attention to your psychological preparation. Find time to rest, relax and recuperate so as not to burn out. Teachers often face a high workload, so it is important to maintain a balance between work and personal life. Pay attention to your hobbies, hobbies, or just relaxing with your family to maintain inner harmony and continue working with enthusiasm.
