Abstract

From the beginning of the 21st century the Russian education system is in the process of transformation. Higher education has undergone the greatest changes within the framework of Russia’s integration into the Bologna process. Nowadays, priority projects are being realized to increase the openness, accessibility and competitiveness of Russian higher education at the local and international levels. Nevertheless, there is a period of stagnation of modernization caused by the instability of progressive development and the progress of reforms. According to the authors’ opinion, this situation is caused by a significant lag in the level of educational activities of universities. The article analyzes the rating presence of Russian educational institutions, analyzes the introduction of modern trends that exist in the global educational space. The authors draw conclusions about the discrepancy between educational activities in Russian universities of modern educational standards, which do not have a synergistic effect that would allow universities to reach a new level in the realization of programs and competitiveness.
