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.
We consider, within the framework of the theory of the human-technological revolution, the role of knowledge, technology and education in the transition from the industrial to the post-industrial phase of the development of civilization. The world is at a bifurcation point and a change in attitude towards education and knowledge can determine the trajectory of the world as a whole and of individual civilizations. We analyze how attitudes toward education have changed in the course of historical development. The cultural and educational level of the population at the present stage is becoming the most important strategic resource that determines the country’s place in the world division of labor. We show the need to build educational strategies and policies based on macro indicators characterizing the education system. We pay great attention to the analysis of the results of the PISA study for Russia, Belarus, post-Soviet countries. New industrialization and breakthroughs require a change in attitudes towards knowledge, educational strategy, and politics. We are discussing possible directions for modernizing the educational strategy of the Union State.
