Problem Of Welfare Of Society And Challenges For Modern University

This article is devoted to the study of current problems of organizing an open and accessible educational environment of the university as a way to achieve social well-being in the modern world. Modern challenges to the education system are associated with the need to take into account in the organization of the university such principles as openness and accessibility of education, mobility in the educational environment, the variability and individuality of educational programs, the quality of education, multiculturalism. Information and communication technologies are considered as the main means of increasing the efficiency of the education system, increasing its competitiveness in both the domestic and global markets. Appeal to the example of the Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia, B. N. Yeltsin, allowed one to show, first, how the principles of openness and accidents affect the reform of the university system; second, how the integration of Russian universities into the international educational space is realized; third, how multicultural discourse is realized in the modern educational environment.
