Strategizing the development of education in the regions of Russia in the context of managing economic growth, digitalization and strengthening the technological sovereignty of industry

The study is based on the methodology of strategizing by Academician Vladimir Kvint which prescribes the need to take into account intersectoral relationships and global trends of industry development. The author reveals the prospects and directions of developing the strategizing of educational system in the regions of Russia. Digitalization and close connection with scientific and innovative process are the global trends of development of education which should find their manifestation in our country in the context of its pursuit of technological sovereignty, especially in industry. Of all the regional indicators directly affecting the “economics of knowledge” (those of education, digital and scientific and innovative development), it is indicators of education that are in the strongest positive mutual influence with the level of development of economics. The authors point out the “strong” positive interrelation of digitalization and scientific and innovative development with education, especially in computerization of educational activity. To maintain confident strategic planning of educational development at the regional level, it is essential to take into account the process of its connection to the entire economy as well as with its digital and scientific and innovative development. It is recommended to strategically plan the strengthening of cooperation of digital development, higher education and development of science and innovative activity at the regional level, currently these spheres are strategized separately. Separate planning is required for digitalization of educational process the intensity of which is most closely connected with the general level of the regional well-being. The authors point out that for confident strategizing it is appropriate to identify the optimal level of the relationship between education costs and the level of the economy in the region and strategically strive for this value.
