Prospects of lean technologies in education: moving towards stability in terms of social and economic change

This research focuses on summarizing statistical data on the total number of students enrolled in Bachelor, Specialist, and Master programs from 2005 to 2021. As a result, a general decrease in the number of students is determined. This trend can be associated with such factors as changes in demography, society, economy, and educational policies. The authors suggest introducing lean technologies into the learning process as a means to increase the number of people involved in education. The evident recent stabilization indicates possible changes in education, highlighting the importance of further research. The integration of lean practices in higher education not only responds to current challenges but also creates conditions for sustainable development of the educational system in the long run.
