Russian education: deviant reforms and the loss of educational sovereignty (historical and legal review)

Abstract

The article analyzes the content of state policy, tasks and ways of reforming Russian education at the turn of the XX - XXI centuries. It is proved that the implementation of the set goals was designed to audit and discredit the achievements of Russian pedagogy, ignoring research experience, deviation from legal and other norms (deviations) of the evolutionary development of the system in favor of revolutionary liberal transformations. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the adopted normative legal acts that laid the deviant foundations in the state educational policy. It is noted that the non-critical borrowing of foreign technologies deprived the domestic system of independence, deformed the multi-level professional training of personnel, which led to a shortage of highly qualified personnel in all sectors of the national economy. The country lost the "knowledge race" and, under the influence of foreign advisers and consultants, doomed education to develop along a fading trajectory.
