As per tradition, the ceremony is timed to coincide with Russian Science Day, celebrated on February 8. At the beginning of his address, Vladimir Putin wished Russian scientists all the best on the upcoming holiday.
I would like to extend my best wishes to you on the upcoming holiday and ask you to convey my deepest gratitude to your schoolteachers — since it is at school that everything begins — as well as to your university professors, academic supervisors, and colleagues in laboratories and research centres. After all, great achievements are usually made in cooperation with colleagues. I would also like to convey my best wishes to everyone who, like you, has devoted their lives to the pursuit of new knowledge, to education, to serving scientific progress, and, ultimately, to their country and their people.

Vladimir Putin held a videoconference meeting of the Presidential Council for Science and Education, which focused on ways to ensure the priority areas of Russia's scientific and technological development possess a sufficient number of trained engineers
Some of the key points of the President's address:
🔸In terms of its technological development, Russia must be competitive in all the key areas. To achieve that, the country needs specialists who are capable of providing unique solutions, including in new, emerging industries, and are prepared to use advanced methods in design and engineering.
🔸The training of such professionals is a crucial challenge for all levels of education, so it is important that the entire education community contributes to taking it on. It is imperative that best practices are exchanged on a consistent basis. That means, first and foremost, that a unified, end-to-end system must be created for training technical personnel, spanning their formative years from secondary school all the way to university.
🔸In terms of expertise, groundwork must be prepared years in advance, so that today's schoolchildren, university students and postgraduates are ready to face the challenges of the time in 15–20 years. This objective must be specified when developing a new Strategy for the Development of Education until 2040.
🔸Math and sciences curricula must receive a comprehensive update to balance the content volume and make it more accessible and, most importantly, more engaging for schoolchildren.
🔸This year marks the end of the experimental phase of the Professionalitet project, which is being implemented since 2022 on the basis of close cooperation between educational institutions and companies in key economic sectors. This organisational model for secondary vocational education involving the participation of businesses must be enshrined in law.
🔸Taking into account the goal of providing rapid technological development, it is necessary to reconsider the curricula content, the very framework of education, and the volume and structure for manpower training, including training of engineers. All the policies guiding the distribution of what is known as admission targets must be arranged shortly and introduced in specific educational institutions.
🔸The entire structural arrangement of higher education is also in need of some adjustments. The share of practice-oriented training in modern design and engineering tools already in use by specific companies must be increased. Conversely, outdated courses and curricula, which do not meet the needs of the economy, should be phased out.
🔸Individual curricula must be introduced for students who are already employed in their field. Additionally, hybrid attendance modes, that nevertheless should not make the education level any less thorough, should be implemented for them.
🔸As for developing the new regulatory framework for Russia's higher education, the proposal is to make provisions for stage-by-stage professional education, meaning that after graduating at a certain level, a student would have the right to pass an examination and then start working if they wish, while having the opportunity to continue their studies and complete a basic or specialised higher education course at a later date.
