MAIN TRENDS IN MODERNIZATION OF EDUCATION IN RUSSIA DURINGPOST-CRISIS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The paper presents the results of studying the maindirections of modernization of Russian education, and concludes that the need to change the system in line with the current trends related not only to overcoming the global economic crisis but also maintaining competitiveness. In the modern world, the competitiveness and quality of human resources depends on the education system, but it should be noted that in the integration process it is important to create educational institutions capable of competing with other countries. Modernization of the education system is a prerequisite for the formation of an innovative economy. In line with this, the strategic goal of the state policy in the field of education is to improve access to quality education that meets the requirements of the modern world. However, further modernization will depend on the educationalinstitutions themselves, and on their successful collaboration with private business. A significant role is played by the effective implementation of federal and regional programs in support of Russian universities.
