Abstract

The purpose of the article is to show that education as a social institute is formed in the life conditions of a particular society, being, on one hand, an important part of its identity, and, on the other hand, reproducing the system of the society's identity.
It is proved in the article that in Russia and in the West there have been formed traditional and adequate to the peculiarity of their life organization education systems, which differ from each other, as well as corresponding theoretical approaches to understanding of essence and purpose of education. It is shown that modernization process of domestic education by orientation to the «Western standards», which can be observed presently in Russia, destructively influences the reproduction of the Russian society identity.
