Education Reforms 2026-2027: Key Changes to Exams, Preschools, and Higher Education

According to reporting from moi-universitet.ru, the upcoming academic term brings verified updates to state examinations, early childhood education standards, and professional training pathways.

Changes to State Examinations and Curriculum

According to moi-universitet.ru, the structure and content of major national examinations—specifically the OGE and the Unified State Exam (EGE)—have undergone notable modifications. The changes feature a specific focus on updates to the EGE history syllabus alongside general subject-by-subject reviews.

Alongside testing updates, educational authorities have approved a new official list of dictionaries, reference books, and grammars. This normative inventory regulates the standards of the contemporary Russian literary language, carrying direct implications for language instructors and curriculum developers.

Updates to Preschool and Higher Education

Early childhood education faces its own regulatory shift. Moi-universitet.ru reports that the federal state educational standard for preschool education (FGOS DO) has been updated, accompanied by a new, advisory list of recommended toys for kindergartens.

Higher education is also seeing structural transformation. Universities are adapting to a new organizational framework that alters both internal institutional structures and admissions procedures for incoming students, reshaping how applicants enter higher education programs.

Expansions in Vocational Training and Colleges

Vocational education and community colleges are introducing streamlined admissions processes under an active experiment designed to simplify entry requirements. According to moi-universitet.ru, these adjustments coincide with expanded opportunities for students to acquire a professional trade free of charge during the 2026 academic cycle.
