Ideology and education
Abstract
The article considers the dichotomy of “ideology and education” in the context of current trends in the development of the Russian education system. The author defines education as a reflection of ideology and a stabilizing factor for public consciousness, since education ensures the reproduction of social experience, an adequate understanding of new realities and directions for social development by younger generations, contributes to the formation of civil and cultural identity. The author also notes those complexities of social life that prevent education from fulfilling its functions (ideological diversity and the state’s weak position in the value polyphony, excessive bureaucratization, and the mindless adoption of standardized Western models) and mentions possible ways to overcome these challenges and to return education system to its core value function.
