On May 20, 2022, as part of the celebration of the Day of Science, the teachers of the Faculty of Primary Education held a Round Table "Actual problems of primary education: realities and prospects" with 3rd year students. The event turned out to be extremely productive, as students already have experience of practice in primary school. The peculiarities, advantages and disadvantages of the NUS were identified, current issues of primary education were discussed, emphasis was placed on the proper organization of the educational environment in the conditions of the NUS. Finally, students fantasized about "Dream Educational Environment", which resulted in interesting ideas for a modern, effective educational environment in primary school.
