Abstract
Due to the rapidly increasing turbulence of the external environment, Russia has once again come to the need to recreate its own self-sufficient national higher education system that will meet the needs of the Russian economy, the Russian mentality and focus on five-year training of specialists. The relevance of the research is determined by the need to understand and adapt the education system to the new labor market conditions and a rapidly changing society. The article presents the results of research conducted by the staff of the Department of National and Regional Economics and the Basic Department of Innovation and Industrial Policy Management at Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, concerning the role of the Russian educational system in the life of society, where it occupies a vast area of intertwining direct and indirect interests, processes, and actions of various parties: from an individual to the whole the population of the country; from individual enterprises, organizations, to the entire production; from the employee to the sphere of labor, the entire socio-economic complex of the country. In the light of recent reforms aimed at changing the structure of the bachelor’s, master’s and postgraduate levels of education, key changes are being considered, starting with the abandonment of the Bologna system and ending with new requirements for graduate training. The authors highlight both the historical component of the changes and current trends that will affect the future of higher education in order to create an effective educational environment that meets the requirements of the labor market.
