Summary: | InRussia, the preference of the educational policy for market paths has been being formed for nearly thirty years. The mechanisms, consequences and prospects of so called marketization have not been yet studied. The article considers the marketization of education, including higher education, as a scientific and social problem. Basing on foreign and domestic sources, the author proves that the marketization of education is generated by neo-liberal attitude of the financial and economic elites seeking to reduce state budget expenditures in the social sphere and keep up the disintegration of society and to secure their future domination.

Бюрократический аппарат системы образования, а также педагогическая и научная общественность не выдвигают проблему маркетизации образования и её последствий в число первоочередных, поэтому образование испытывает затянувшийся институциональный кризис, социальные напряжения и потери, а проработка выходов из ... |
