Abstract

The article deals with the problem of research of the role of the state in modernization of Russian domestic education. In an era of global changes of the education svstem and integration of Russian education into the world educational space, the importance of the state in management and control of reforming the education system increases. State institutes remain the main regulators of modernization processes conducted in the educational sphere that can eliminate or minimize a number of risks for the domestic educational system.Considering the state as a subject of the educational institute, its key functions in education can be identified: ideological, financial, and organizational. The ideological function means definition of the general direction of the educational process by the state, formulation of the basis for educational programs and first of all educating components of the educational system. The weakness of the state’s ideological function in education minimizes patriotic education of the youth, assimilates those areas of educational programs that are hardly applicable for the Russian social, cultural, historical, and political specifics. A shortage of financing in the end leads to the decrease and perhaps even the total loss of competitiveness of the Russian education in the international market of educational services. The organizational function is intended to ensure functioning of such model of the educational system which will naturally combine relevance to modern conditions, national traditions, and historical experience of the Russian education system.Thus, defining the role of the state in education regulation, setting targets and the main functions in education modernization and management of educational process, it is possible to discover key mechanisms of influence of the state, being a strategic subject of development of the Russian education system, on the development of institute of education in the modern Russian society.
