The capital pays great attention to the development of education, including the implementation of a large-scale school reconstruction program, expanding the capabilities of colleges and collaborating with leading universities. Sergei Sobyanin announced this live on TV Center and Moscow 24.

"Overall, I believe we will open and renovate approximately 120-130 schools annually. This is a huge, extensive program that we have approved and will be implementing systematically," the Moscow Mayor noted.

According to him, the renovation of each school requires a great deal of effort. It's not just the buildings that need to be renovated, but also modern laboratories, new utilities, and improved finishing. Moreover, all these tasks must be completed within just one year, so that students can return to their schools as quickly as possible. Where necessary, new educational buildings are being constructed. For example, they are planned for residential areas under construction in the Ochakovo-Matveyevskoye and Danilovsky districts.

Over 100 gyms have been reconstructed in the capital under the My School project.Sobyanin announced plans to build and reconstruct approximately 120 school buildings.

The next level is secondary vocational education. In particular, the capital is implementing a major program to build new colleges in various districts.

"It's not just about getting an education, whether higher or secondary. It's also about how in-demand it is in the labor market and what salary you'll earn after graduating. Today, 95 percent of our college graduates work in their field of study. This is a truly remarkable figure. We usually hear that 60 percent, 40 percent, and in some fields, even up to 30 percent of university graduates work exclusively in their field of study. Here, it's 95 percent," explained Sergei Sobyanin.

College educational programs are 70 percent hands-on. These are often taught by specialists from leading city companies in their respective fields. During their studies, students acquire skills sought after by employers and can also master additional related specialties. This enables young professionals to successfully enter the labor market and find employment.

Teachers from Moscow's colleges have undergone retraining in digital disciplines.From cooking to sound recording: Moscow colleges have updated their laboratories and workshops.

The city plans to create a number of super collegesThey will become venues unique in architecture, content, conditions, and quality of education.

Those who decide to attend university after high school must compete for places with students from across the country. To expand opportunities for Moscow graduates and provide all university students with unique development tools, Moscow is joining major Russian Government programs. For example, last year, the campus of Bauman Moscow State Technical University was completed. Plans include supporting a major project by Moscow State University of Civil Engineering to construct new academic buildings and dormitories. The concept for Stankin University's new campus in Kommunarka is nearing completion, and design work is expected to begin soon.

"The development of Lomonosov Moscow State University is, of course, also very important. Moscow continues to actively support our country's leading university, and we plan to build two large technology parks in the science and technology valley on Vorobyovy Gory. We've already built one such building—the Lomonosov one. And two more such large, high-tech buildings will be built to house innovative enterprises and major scientific technology parks," added Sergei Sobyanin.

These institutions will become centers where new developments, science, technology and venture projects come together.
