Abstract
This study looks some years ahead and analyses trends that are already shaping the future of education in Russia. It explores
key challenges to Russian Society – how to transform its educational system to respond effectively to global XXI century
needs and aspirations. The educational system in Russia, known as ‘knowledge-oriented’, has traditionally been centered on
content. University graduates, being narrowly focused specialists, were not able to adapt themselves easily to different work
environments. Now education needs fundamental reforms to allow a better combination of academic and vocational
training. Education goals, standards, and curricula are the focus of our work, as we are sure that it is the job of standards and
curricula to instill competencies necessary for people to choose content that has depth, and to approach it intelligently. We’d
like to realign education goals, standards, and curricula to reflect changing knowledge and dynamic transformations
happening to our world.
Keywords: Programme, educational system, education goal, standard, curriculum.
