Abstract

The article describes the role of inertia in the development of the Russian educational system. It is argued that during the period of reforms in the 1990th the inertia mechanisms carried out a protective function of the system, maintaining its stability and institutional integrity. The author suggests that today inertia has a serious impact not only on the institutional development but on the ideological character of the educational sphere as well. The inertia mechanisms replace the values by social routines and habits, thus, giving rise to the new social attitudes and patterns of behavior.
