Disturbing trends in the Russian education system: the analysis of scientists' and teachers' opinions
In modern conditions of formation of the information civilization, the transition of public systems to the information society is taking place. This means that the basis of all spheres of social life is information technologies. Their distribution and implementation are possible only based on globalization. Informatization and globalization being interrelated processes ensure the successful process development of countries, which are claiming world leadership. Our country is actively involved in these processes. Globalization and Informatization allow the state to develop the economy through unified technologies. At the same time, not only the economy and technologies are subject to unification, but all spheres of public life as well. After the transition of our country to such a path of development, it turned out that we are losing the intellectual potential of the country at a catastrophic rate. What is the cause and what is the consequence in this case? The study of papers of modern scientists and teachers on this issue shows that a common understanding and determination of causes of problems in the education system of Russia has not yet developed. To solve the problem, it is necessary to have a clear systematic understanding of its causes. This study is another attempt to understand why the education system in our country is being transformed other than for the better. This is necessary in order to take the next step: to develop possible algorithms for solving this problem.
