THE LIMITS OF MODERNIZATION OF THE SYSTEM OF EDUCATION AND THE ROLE OF THE STATE

Abstract

The article examines the current topical problems of modernization of the education system and the development of modern Russia in the context of globalization. There is substantiated the necessity of the correspondence of the reforms to the historical traditions of the country and the type of society. The authors support the assertion that the limit of the reforms degenerates. As a result, “the reform <... > inevitably turns into its opposite, i.e., a kind of counter-reform”. The authors develop methodological principles associated with the idea formulated above. The central idea is that the study of the limits of reforms has become very topical for ensuring Russia’s national security.
