THE PROBLEM OF NATIONAL EDUCATION COMPETITIVENESS IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION

Abstract. The topic of globalization and education is explored by many Russian scientists. Their publications can be divided into main 3 groups: 1) where the publications focus on the phenomenon of globalization, its attractors that determine the main tendencies of education development; 2) relations between globalization and education are explored in the context of negative and positive results; 3) improvement in the quality of national education as a necessary response to the challenges and risks of globalization. Different scientific views have led to ambiguity when rendering the notion competitiveness of education. The competitiveness of education is one of the elements of market relations and must be investigated from this point of view. The research methodology assumes socio-cultural approach when personality is considered to be connected with society and culture as a set of values and standards. The authors applied diachronic method that explores phenomena in their chronological sequence. The paper analyzes the following aspects of education competitiveness: the problem of the definition the concept “education competitiveness”; globalization of education and competition in education; the problem of national education competitiveness; the problem of staff training quality; multipolar world and education system. The author argues that education competitiveness is one of the most important characteristics of national education that is regulated by pedagogical laws (the problem of goal setting and quality of students training), political methods (cronyism, discrimination and segregation) and economic methods (damping policy of the exporters of educational service at the external market of educational service). Universities rating presses the competitors as well as they are made by international independent information agencies that belong to the developed countries. The level of industrial and economic development and the system of values in Russia influence the competitiveness of national education at the internal market. The author outlines the necessity to develop organizational, economic, political and pedagogical measures in order to increase the competitiveness of national education. The author sees the strategic goal of this modernization in building national educational space that greatly contributes to multipolar world.
