Education always remains at the heart of political and economic debates in Morocco. The essential questions that arise for Morocco are: How to generalize and standardize the education system throughout its territory? How to improve the quality and efficiency of education in Morocco? The level of economic development remains fragile and sensitive, marked by an inequitable development between the 12 Moroccan regions. For this purpose, also treated what supposedly unequal is unfair. We must abandon the principle of equal treatment of pupils across the country. It is obviously a question of compensating for the initial inequalities. Putting this policy in the name of equity seems socially just. Educational justice means not only the same educational policies but having equal access and results. An egalitarian system must focus on improving the quality of the schools that serve the poorest regions of the country and the poorest classes in society. The reason is simple: a well-educated and well-groomed population will be more productive, which is a source of continuous growth that can benefit everyone. For this reason, the starting point is to establish a single school, carrying the ideals of freedom, equality, solidarity, the principles of citizenship, secularism, respect for others, universalism and unit. In addition, it is necessary to introduce digital into the education system and to diversify and encourage the learning of languages ​​(in addition to two official languages) such as English, Japanese, Chinese, we do not know who owns The world of tomorrow ?

The socio-economic development of the country is the goal of every state. An important element in achieving this goal is the availability and application of a macroeconomic generalizing indicator that reveals the purpose of public policy. The main aim of the study is to identify the socio-economic characteristics of the organization of life in the countries of Scandinavia, using the macroeconomic generalizing indicator RAZ (the name of the indicator is based on the first part of the Russian word “razvitie” translated as “development”), proposed by the authors. The authors consider this indicator as suitable for cross-country comparisons of the quality of life and an objective estimation of development of the society from the point of view of focusing on the maximum disclosure of person's abilities and personal development. The research was based on the methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization and modeling, as well as on the case-study method. The use of these methods made it possible to identify the characteristics of the socio-economic organization of life and characteristics defining quality of life (human birth, education and medical care) in their composition, and also the indicators corresponding to them characterizing qualitative changes — levels of human birth rate, education and medical care. The generalized estimation of the specified characteristics defining quality of life, it is offered to make by means of a macroeconomic generalizing indicator. For its calculation a set of the quantity indicators defining quality of life (population in the country, number of the persons trained in an education system and number of healthy people) is generated. The authors make an assessment of the macroeconomic generalizing indicator and the set of the quantity indicators defining quality of life (the population in the country, the number of healthy people and the number of people studying in the education system).The study has developed an approach to calculating defining quality of life indicators using the System of National Accounts according to the data of the European Bureau of Statistical Research and the official websites of the national statistical services of the countries of Scandinavia and Switzerland as a country that has indicators close to the leading values of the countries of Scandinavia. These estimates can be used for comparative analysis purposes. The study compiled a rating of countries according to the macroeconomic generalizing indicator. According to calculations, Norway occupies a leading position. The lowest rank is observed in Sweden. There are changes in the quality of life in society, and this complex phenomenon requires an objective assessment. Generalizing indicator of the development provides such an assessment. The indicator allows us to evaluate the set of characteristics that determine the quality of life, which is not yet taken into account in cross-country comparisons, and to compare them. It has been established that the lack of development of the conceptual apparatus and the unavailability of important statistical information complicate the principle of compiling the indicator and lead to an inaccurate calculation of the macroeconomic generalizing indicator at this study stage. Nevertheless, it was found out that the calculation could be made in relation to the following levels: humanity (world), country, region or city. Further research is planned to study substantiation of the conceptual device of formation of RAZ as indicator for cross-country comparisons of quality of life and an objective estimation of development of the society, as well as for using it as a modelling element of social and economic systems. Besides, it is necessary to develop additional characteristics that take into account the influence of a person’s life expectancy on the quality of his life, as well as in clarifying the conceptual apparatus for forming a macroeconomic generalizing indicator RAZ for building a rational organization of people's place of residence. This approach creates new theoretical and methodological foundations for scientific knowledge of the socio-economic development of the countries and allows us to analyze the quality of life as a base which moves development of the countries in different historical periods and to see the development of the world in the future in a different way.

Indonesia is a developing country which is one of the countries that are members of the group of world countries, including the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Asian Pacific Economic Corporation (APEC), Southeast Asia Association of South East Of Asian Nation (ASEAN) and others. Even though until now the Indonesian state in its level of economic development is not very well established. Even among ASEAN countries, Indonesia is still lagging behind other ASEAN countries. This will hamper Indonesia's growth in the medium and long term if the quality of the economy is not immediately improved.

The main idea of the article is to present some characteristics of social expectations of teachers’ work that appeared after March 2020 when the whole world found itself in online education. These expectations are rather unified and do not depend on the level of economic development of the country or the degree of involvement in providing educational services online in the pre-Covid period. The article also attempts to analyse the challenges that teachers face while providing educational services online by dividing them in 3 groups: challenges related to students; challenges related to teachers, and challenges related to external factors. As the basis for the research, the results of an anonymous survey of teachers and lecturers from 6 countries were used. The results of the study show that social expectations and social requirements set for teachers and the education system in general by the society in the context of forced and total online education are excessive For writing the article, both theoretical (analysis, observation, reflection, etc.) and empirical (survey, static processing) research methods were used.

This study tries to examine the effect of the quality of the institutional framework on the accounts of the balance of payments in a sample of African countries (28 countries) and a sample of countries occupying advanced positions in international economics (15 countries) to determine different indicators of the institutional framework that affect the balances of the current and financial accounts of the balance of payments in the two sample countries through the period 2002-2019. The study applied the panel autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model, Akaike info criterion (AIC), to determine the short- and long-run relationships. The empirical findings illustrate that the institutional indicators that support the current accounts of the balance of payments, in the long run, are not the same that support the financial accounts of the balance of payments of African countries. In addition, the effect of institutional indicators on international transactions is related to the level of economic development, where the effect of institutional indicators on countries with relatively low levels of economic development is more powerful than their effects on countries with advanced levels of development. Thus, the low quality of the institutional framework is considered an important impediment to the development of international transactions in African countries.

The development and spread of digital technologies lead to serious qualitative changes not only in the field of industrial production. They have a strong impact on the social development of society, including education. The new technological (digital) revolution requires an individualized approach to meeting the economic and social needs of society. The digital revolution focuses on the quality of education based on the comprehensive development of each individual. Moreover, the tools of information and communication technologies used in the education system change depending on the conditions and settings of socio-economic development of the territory. Digital technologies have penetrated all spheres of society’s life, which requires a new quality of education from every employee. In the modern world, a computer can replace about 62% of employees, and only 13% of people have a high level of intellectual literacy that surpasses computer systems [1]. The existing education system needs serious changes, since the system of modern training of workers is inferior to the level of training of workers who worked in the 90s. Moreover, the changes that are being made should also be individualized depending on the socio-economic requirements of the territory. The article identifies the main problems of socio-economic development of the Chuvash Republic. A number of projects are proposed that contribute to the development of the region’s territory in the context of digital transformation.

Aim. The presented study aims to theoretically substantiate and empirically test criteria and indicators for a generalized assessment of the level and sustainability of the quality of life in the regions of the Russian Federation in the context of challenges and volatile foreign economic and political conditions.Tasks. The authors use a system of indicators and the criterion of sustainability of the quality of life to conduct a typological analysis of the distribution and ranking of Russian regions by the quality of life and sustainability of development in 2016-2019.Methods. This study proposes an algorithm and mathematical tools for measuring the level and sustainability of regional development in terms of life quality based on a group of indicators relevant for current Russian conditions, generically characterizing the attractiveness of living conditions in the territory.Results. Methods for analyzing and managing the sustainability of regional economic development in Russia under the influence of political and economic challenges and risks are proposed. A method for comparing the ranking positions of Russian regions by the quality of life is proposed and applied. Several hypotheses about the regularity of regional distribution by the quality of life are considered, and the reasons for the violation of the sustainability of social development are analyzed for groups of regions that showed signs of instability during the analyzed period.Conclusions. Based on the proposed criterion of sustainability of development and assessment of the level of competitive attractiveness of regions and their ranking by the quality of life, the study shows that 43 out of 85 regions were developing steadily in terms of life quality in 2016-2019. Of the 42 regions that showed a decrease in the level and ranking of competitive attractiveness, the majority suffered due to increased unemployment, crime, reduced income, and adverse environmental changes. Increased sustainability of development is usually observed in regions with a high level of competitive attractiveness in terms of the quality of life and the level of economic development.
