Forward-thinking education and modernization of the union state

Abstract

The next stage of the technological revolution is changing not only production, but also the labor market, presenting new requirements for the competencies of graduates. The study of international experience shows that the leading countries have already entered the «educational race» to form readiness of young people to master the technologies of the new industry. It is critically important for the Union State Belarus - Russia to use the potential of advanced education, which is one of the most important long-term factors for increasing the country's technological development and its prosperity. The article discusses specific steps that can be useful to design modern education in the Union State of Belarus and Russia as a outrunning one. The prerequisite for the progress of our states is the promotion of personal growth and the upbringing of the human creator. This thesis is substantiated from the standpoint of the theory of the humanitarian-technological revolution. Within the framework of the concept being developed, a special place is occupied by the activity-oriented vocational orientation of schoolchildren, which is interconnected with the problem of interdisciplinarity in school and university education. As a separate important aspect, the expediency of incorporating elements of educational robotics, as well as problem and project training in the daily practice of school education, is substantiated. The listed educational innovations require the adoption of a number of decisions at the state level.
