Abstract

The paper analyzes the methodological basis of The Strategy of Innovative Development of Russia until 2020 and the educational standards for school. The principle of activity which is the basis for these documents is not capable of providing the integrality of the social process. The basis for the development of policies and standards should be the principle of unity and relations. This will take into account social interests of the population.
In the process of development of educational standards, the internal contradictions of human development (the interaction of natural and acquired qualities) have not been considered in a comprehensive fashion, the means of their development (science, arts, sports) have not been specified and it has not been determined how to achieve harmony between the natural and acquired qualities, especially the game and the work. The author comes to the conclusion that the basis for the development strategy of Russia and the educational standards must be based on the inherent contradictions, to the resolution of which the social projects should be directed.
