Abstract
This chapter takes historical and forward-looking perspectives on the implementation of information and communication technologies (ICT) across the Russian educational landscape. We first discuss how Russian public policy with respect to ICT-supported education has been transforming over time, while briefly addressing the principal phases of this ongoing digital move as reflected in evolving ICT perceptions and development priorities, deployment approaches, as well as key outcomes, challenges and further action plans. Next, we explore how the present-day digital agenda for future-proof education is being conceptualized and implemented in practice by taking insights into the following individual areas: 1. ICT Infrastructure; 2. ICT Learning Resources; 3. ICT in Instructional Practice; 4. Student ICT Competence; 5. Teacher ICT Competence and Upskilling. The final sections give a round-up of findings with respect to the current status and outlook for ICT development in Russian education. This paper is an output of a research project implemented as part of the Basic Research Program at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, Moscow, Russia.
