FEATURES OF THE EDUCATION SYSTEM’S RESPONSE TO CHANGES IN THE WORLD

Abstract

The article reveals problems of the education system’s response to changes in the world. In the context of globalization, new trends in science and production are emerging, and new specialists are required. Universities start training in a new specialty, but during this time, the vector of scientific and technological progress or socio-economic conditions changes, and the new specialty becomes unnecessary. There is a constant problem of optimal use of time for training, which is traditionally not enough, especially when compared to the volume of constantly generated new information. The delayed response of the education system to the changes taking place in the world is justified both by a lack of funding and a lack of time in planning curricula, which raises the question of whether artificial intelligence can be involved in solving this problem. The world and society are changing faster than universities have time to react. Decisions about opening new specialties are often based on subjective ideas about the ways of scientific and technological progress or trends in market conditions. A separate problem is the habit of information flow, which gradually turns into addiction. To avoid such sad result for the human ecology, one needs to develop a self-disciplining set of exercises that allows you to maintain motivation and interest not only in information networks, but also in the world around you.
