The St. Petersburg Educational Forum has been held since 2010, and since 2017 it has an international status. By 2019, the forum has become an inter-institutional event, which is confirmed by the geography of participants (33 countries of the world and all regions of Russia; about 30,000 people) and the intense official, business and cultural programmes (more than 250 events).

In 2020, the Forum was prepared, but did not take place due to the epidemiological situation in the country and in the world. It was necessary to organize and hold the forum in 2021 due to the needs of the professional community and the public in organizing communication platforms for discussing the current situation and prospects for the development of educational systems, which is especially important in the context of new coronavirus infection pandemic.
