An analysis of the current state of Russian education

Abstract

In this article, the author identifies needs in the state’s educational system through a consideration of the Soviet experience and current conditions in Russia. The article presents a detailed analysis of the structure and content of federal educational standards as elucidated in 081100 “State and Municipal Management,” which leads to the conclusion that real knowledge and skills in the field of management cannot be obtained based on these standards. The author argues that the education of the humanities was built almost entirely upon the post-Soviet scheme, which has produced a system of pseudo-education in our country that reflects the state of modern Russian society. This system was formed after the destruction of the USSR within a newly established model of minimum state regulation of all spheres of society, the implementation of which has led to the loss of goal-setting and strategic functions of the domestic management system at all levels. The author calls for the revival of these strategic functions, which will entail a positive transformation of the system of vocational education.
