Abstract

In the article there is raised a question about the compatibility of the present reforms to our basic cultural stereotypes and pedagogical foundations. The European education system is aimed at preparation of the competitive participant of the manufacturing process. The educational tradition of the Russia and East has for its purpose the formation of the socialized human person, capable of establishing harmony with his/her own conscience and surrounding Nature. A comparison of two educational systems reveals their fundamental divergences; therefore, the Westernization will not make the Russian education more efficient.
