Abstract
The article analyzes the current state and prospects of educational cooperation within the BRICS framework. The authors emphasize that such interaction is based on the recognition of education as a key right and a factor in sustainable development, as well as a tool for countering disinformation. A key trend is the focus of professional education on labor market needs. The article also notes significant challenges: the dominance of «Global North» approaches, language and logistical barriers, sanctions restrictions, and asymmetric access to technology. Digitalization and AI, while mitigating some barriers, are creating new challenges in the areas of ethics and digital competencies. Priority areas of cooperation include the development of multilingualism and educational resources in national languages, academic mobility, mutual recognition of qualifications, joint research, and the creation of a unified digital educational environment. It is concluded that deepening educational and scientific-technical integration within BRICS contributes to strengthening the humanitarian sovereignty of member countries, creates a talent pool, and lays the foundation for sustainable development in a multipolar world.
