Many countries consider education a major vehicle of social advancement. Training of highly qualified specialists, capable of solving the most complex problems of modern society is the main priority of higher education. Knowledge, science and culture open the prospects into the future for every person.

The system of higher and further education undergoes a process of great reforms. They are initiated to provide closer links between education and technological needs of industry. New goals are set to link higher education more directly to the economy, improve the quality of scientific research, provide educational and research institutions with modern technology and new laboratory facilities.

The need to make education more democratic and universal arises from the fact that our country is integrating with the European community. Issues such as environment, exchanges rate, and economic competition, public health, national security, poverty, population control, and human rights affect every country domestically as well as internationally. Under these circumstances attending to domestic needs requires understanding of national, cultural, and socio-economic boundaries.

The characteristic feature and the main trend in modern higher education is not only to check students’ knowledge but develop their abilities and creative thinking. Today’s scientific and technological progress demands of the university graduates to be prepared to deepen their knowledge individually and adapt themselves quickly to the changes in the branches of science or industry they have chosen as their speciality or research. In addition to offering programs based on traditional academic disciplines, higher education must develop problem-focused programs of study that are more practical than theoretical and are oriented around problems of the real world.

Of course, university education in Russia still faces a great variety of problems, connected with implementation of new disciplines, reorienting university policies and programs towards new goals. But if we want to prosper in the new environment of the 21st century, our universities must truly orient themselves around new goals. None of these goals will be achieved quickly and easily but the benefits of putting them in place will far exceed the efforts required.
