The need for a change of conceptual basis education systems at the current stage of community development

Abstract

The UN development program assesses the quality of life, or the country's Human Development Index, by three main indicators: average age, average income per capita, and level of education. Humanity's need to create an artificial education system through the transfer of sociocultural experience accumulated by previous generations in the form of professional knowledge and moral values arose in connection with the need to prepare future generations for the most effective participation in all spheres of society. And since it is customary to divide the history of human development into a number of stages according to the focus of the economy on the production of the main types of products and, accordingly, according to the number of the able-bodied population employed in this field, then at each stage of its development the economy required different answers to the questions about the functions of the elements that define the education system as artificial: its purpose or main function - "Why teach?", content – " What to teach?", methods – "How to teach?", contingent of students – "Who to teach?" and teachers – "Who teaches?"
