New challenges of the system of secondary specialized education in Russia

Discusses the problems of the vocational secondary education system in Russia. It is shown that in the information age, changes in all areas of society also relate to education, which should correspond to the requirements of the time. Coronavirus pandemic, known as COVID-19, is a serious problem faced by the modern world. In a situation of self-isolation education changes its format to remote learning. In connection with these, a problem arises: how to organize the educational process so as not to lose face-to-face interaction, which is an indicator of the high quality of education? A comparative analysis of the pedagogical, philosophical and sociological works on the problems of the development of modern society as a whole, and relevant issues of secondary specialized education and distance education in particular, has been performed. It is shown that for secondary specialized education this seems to be the most important, because, the age characteristics of students imply difficulties in organizing self-education, vocational education, in addition to theoretical knowledge, involves the development of practical skills, the implementation of which in a remote format causes a number of difficulties. In the current crisis situation, masters of industrial training and teachers of special disciplines need to continue the education process without reducing its quality. To achieve this goal, the development of virtual courses, simulators, as well as models of network interaction “college — production” are proposed. It was revealed that the teacher-tutor, using effective teaching methods that provide information technology, will help learners to orient themselves towards self-education. Secondary special education is faced with challenges that must be answered adequately: the transition to distance learning without losing the quality of education, preparing young people to independently respond to emerging challenges of the present, preparing teachers (especially of professional disciplines) for the specifics of work in a remote format.
