The impact of BRICS cooperation in the field of education on the development of the global educational space

Abstract

The article analyzes the role of educational cooperation between the BRICS countries in shaping the global educational space. The relevance of the topic is due to the increasing influence of this association on global processes, including in the field of education. The purpose of the study is to identify the key areas and effects of BRICS countries' interaction in the educational sphere. The tasks include systematization of forms and mechanisms of cooperation, assessment of its effectiveness, and determination of the potential for further development. The methodological basis consists of systematic and comparative approaches, content analysis of documents, expert interviews (N=25). It has been established that the BRICS countries are actively developing student and teacher exchanges, implementing network educational programs, and implementing joint research projects. These initiatives contribute to the internationalization of education, the transfer of best practices, and the formation of innovative learning models. In the future, BRICS cooperation can become a driver of transformation of the global educational landscape towards greater inclusiveness, adaptability and orientation to the needs of sustainable development. The practical significance of the study is to develop recommendations for improving the effectiveness of educational cooperation between the BRICS countries. It is advisable to focus further research on the problems of harmonization of educational standards, the development of virtual academic mobility, and the integration of national initiatives in the field of digitalization of education.
