The basic concept of modern society (postindustrial - information - knowledge society - risk society), revealed similarities and differences are identified the key characteristics that determine its further development. It is shown that in the conditions of re-industrialization of the education system have predominated: that it should make the training of specialists who are ready not only to work in the new changed circumstances with information and knowledge, but also to make fundamental and applied knowledge. For example, Western societies identified the main principles of the classical university, considered a positive experience to overcome the contradiction that arises between the education system and the demands of society in the era of change.
