Abstract. Introduction. The paper presents the results of a study on the current problems facing educational organizations due to the introduction of Western sanctions, and the ways to solve them productively through the implementation of the concept of lean education. New challenges to educational organizations in the current context are described, possible avenues to modernize the Russian education system are proposed, including a possible solution to the problematic situation. The issues of fostering lean culture and lean thinking in teachers and students are touched upon.
Materials and methods. The methodological framework for the research is the concept of lean production. The study substantiates the need and the possibility of implementing this concept in the educational sphere, and demonstrates the potential of Lean technologies to improve the efficiency and quality of educational activity. An attempt is made to raise topical research issues of the implementation of the lean production principles in education, which are insufficiently represented in the scientific literature.
Research results. The examination of the initial experience of rational economic behavior of educational organizations under sanctions involves an analysis of examples, methods, and prospects for the development of the concept of lean education. Various aspects of functioning of the educational organizations under sanctions are touched upon, which force them to search and find effective means of solving current and potential problems.
The study shows that in today’s context, educational organizations should pay more attention to the issues of economy, rational use of resources, import substitution, and, at the same time, contribute to shaping a lean personality type, which is a strategic direction for ensuring economic independence, sovereignty, and competitiveness of Russia and its education system.
Conclusions. It is emphasized that the conceptualization of the lean education model and its practical implementation in the national education can and should be a relevant response to Western sanctions. The practicality of creating a lean culture and lean thinking as one of the key factors of sustainable socio-economic development of the country is argued.
