Introduction. Russian education and society are making attempts to move jointly into a configuration of relations that is fundamentally new in form and content. Education as a structural element of a system called “society” has all the features of this system. Meanwhile, if we consider society and education, then, firstly, their systemic connection, if not completely lost, is, however, discontinuous. Secondly, education and society still do not have synchronous project programs, and, therefore, they do not have guidelines for joint development. What happens in education and society depends not only on the mistakes made by each of the subjects of this tandem, but also on mutual systemic mistakes. The system and activity approaches are used as a methodological basis for the study of relations in the “education - society” tandem. It is believed that modern society, as a system of developing in breadth and depth of interacting social forms of uniting people (groups, communities, institutions), emerges as a new structured integrity. Discussion. At a new stage in the development of the “education - society” tandem, the facts of contradictions were recorded in their relations. In this connection, it is proposed: to determine the points of their conjugation and growth, conditions and forms of cooperation; to reformat the systemic combinations of the interaction of the levels of the educational institution with other social institutions; to construct a new configuration of relations between education and society. Conclusion. Changes in the configuration of relations of the “education - society” tandem create conditions: a) for the transition from the state of “systemic stress” to sustainable development; b) for the formation of new ties and relationships between the dominant subjects of society; c) to develop a strategy for the priority development of Russia.
