The author identifies three paradigmatic errors which causing the problem in the course of modernization. They are: a definition of education as a service sector; the priority of quantitative methods of education quality assessment; refusal to recognize the specificity of professional teacher education, leading to its destruction. The article contains criticism of the positivist model of education, focused on a minimum standard of knowledge, which leads to the gradual breach of Russian higher and secondary education, the principles of universal, fundamental education also the principle of the state order.
