Abstract

The development of information society in the conditions of globalization is connected with democratization of the society and its educational system. Democratization of education is a wide concept, which implies involving all the strata of population in the educational process, and also development of the rights and freedoms of the participants of educational process. We are free in that degree in which we are able to consciously participate in the life of society and to think independently, instead of simply passively responding to the influence of social factors. Democracy is understood by us as a mechanism, which ensures development of the person and protection of the society from the authoritarian power.
