Russia's National Projects transform education, culture and infrastructure nationwide

Russia’s National Projects continue to reshape education, culture, and infrastructure across the country. These large-scale initiatives aim to improve living standards and support key social areas. Public awareness of the programmes remains high, with 91% of Russians familiar with their goals. The Youth and Children National Project has made significant progress in education and youth engagement. Since 2019, 6,500 schools have been renovated under its framework. The project also includes the Professionalitet programme, which modernises vocational training across 1,730 colleges in 86 regions.

The Pushkin Card programme, part of the same initiative, has enabled young people aged 14 to 22 to attend cultural events. Over 1 million events have been held since its launch in 2019.

The Family National Project has focused on healthcare and family support. Between 2019 and 2024, 2,700 children’s clinics were modernised to improve medical services for young patients. The project also promotes family values and assistance for parents.

Other National Projects have targeted employment and public spaces. The Human Resources National Project has opened 1,267 modern employment centres to help job seekers. Meanwhile, the Infrastructure for Life National Project has upgraded 80,500 public spaces and repaired 195,000 kilometres of roads. The National Projects cover a wide range of sectors, from education to infrastructure. Millions of Russians have already benefited from renovated schools, cultural access, and improved public services. The initiatives remain a central part of the country’s development strategy.
