Abstract

The article addresses the pressing issue of digital transformation of the higher education system in Russia. In the context of the rapid development of information and communication technologies (ICT) and the transition to a digital economy, the level of university informatization becomes a critical factor determining the quality of specialist training and the competitiveness of educational institutions. The authors note a significant differentiation among universities in terms of their level of digital maturity and the absence of a unified approach to understanding the essence of informatization of education. The aim of the work is a comprehensive analysis of the main obstacles hindering the introduction of digital technologies into the educational, research and administrative processes of higher education institutions, as well as the development of approaches to classifying these obstacles and determining the levels of responsibility for their elimination.
