From Medieval to Modern University: stages of development and Conceptual solutions

Abstract

Education issues are among the most urgent social tasks. The state and prospects of social development largely depend on them. The central place in the educational system belongs to universities, designed to train the intellectual elite. The countries have developed national “university” models, but with all the differences, healthy conservatism is characteristic of all of them. However, the dynamically changing internal and external environment requires constant adjustment of universities to the challenges and demands of the time. At the same time, the “university” educational model retains essential features, which distinguishes it from other educational structures. This article is devoted to the history of university education and the formation of its various models.
