ON CERTAIN SOCIOLOGICAL REGULARITIES OF CONTEMPORARY EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT
The educational system is the most important institution that has its inherent sociological regularities of development. The analysis of these regularities is important for forecasting national and regional educational system development. Such regularities are particularly important for the identification of links between education and the social and professional structure of society, vocational guidance for the young generation, life standards, and public health. The educational system is a kind of both social filter and social lift for youth. It is the educational system where social conflicts, social inequality and other problems of the future society are built. Spiritual, cultural and informational needs of people are powerful development accelerators and factors of life-long education. The scale and needs of education development are regarded as an increasingly important city-compositional and population-distributional factor in the contemporary world.
