Abstract

In the article, the authors try to find answers to the main questions about our future social development. It is time to set new long-term objectives and outline possible ways of progressive development of the Russian society. The main task of Russia’s development now is to find the primary factors of the national growth. The authors’ analysis includes the realization of right methods of management in today’s higher education. The role of higher education as a mechanism of optimization of social development and business activity has been always very impotent. The higher education system trains professional personnel necessary for the development of the country. These people should have a progressive world outlook on the basis of ethnic priorities and the national development strategy that is needed to save the Fatherland in the stressful conditions of the current century. To counter the crisis tendencies it is necessary to decisively reject the cult of market ideology, choose socially important landmarks in the development of society and return to the primary social institutions, including quality education, socially-oriented upbringing, civil responsibility on the basis of an ideological component in people's behavior. To restore them is not easy, but necessary. Instead of exclusive pursuit of profit, at the present moment we should use the reserves of the society and production for the development of science and education, which will bring the national economy to a new technical level and will provide a new quality of life to all people of our country. In this regard, it is necessary to unite the efforts of the state and the population, the center and the regions. Indeed, the development of any civilized society is objectively linked to the system of social institutions, among which the leading role belongs to education of the population, affecting the quality of the construction of social relations in all spheres of life.
