Abstract
This article covers key aspects of foreign investment regulation in education in the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), analyzes the legal specifics of each country’s approach to foreign investment in education, and offers recommendations for improving the investment climate and legal regulation in this sector. The analysis identifies similarities and differences in the legal frameworks of these countries, paying special attention to the principles of openness, investor protection and compliance with international standards. The article identifies the main challenges faced by foreign investors, including administrative barriers, legislative instability and cultural differences. Recommendations are offered for improving the legal regulation of foreign investment in education, including the development of a multilateral agreement within the BRICS, harmonization of investor protection standards and support for educational technologies. The study concludes that harmonization of the legal frameworks within the BRICS can create a stable environment for attracting foreign investment and modernizing education systems.
