The Presidential Library has been supporting the competition for several years. Last year, the Director General of the Presidential Library, Yuri Nosov, attended the award ceremony for the winners of the "Best Russian School Abroad - 2023" competition. As Yuri Nosov noted, "thanks to this competition, each participant has the opportunity to showcase their creative potential, share practical experience, and learn about pedagogical approaches in the fields of Russian language, culture, and science."

The Presidential Library is actively collaborating on various educational and cultural projects. These projects aim to create a unified information platform on the history of Russia's statehood, strengthen moral values among young people, preserve historical memory, and counteract historical misinformation.

An important milestone in the development of cooperation between the Presidential Library and the Ministry of Education of Russia was the signing of a cooperation agreement in May 2024 and the opening of remote access centers to the information resources of the Presidential Library at pedagogical universities under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education. With the support of the State University of Education, the Presidential Library has launched a competition for pedagogical projects called The Future of the Fatherland in the Hands of a Teacher.
