Russian Federation
The process of adaptation of the Russian education system to the market principles was rather chaotic and resulted in a number of system problems. For instance, business organizations have distanced themselves from the education of qualified personnel on the basis of state educational institutions. The article features some results of a theoretical research of interaction between the state structures and firms, its specifics and prospects in the sphere of Russian education. The analysis showed that the term "social partnership" was replaced with the term "public-private partnership" as the main concept for interactions between education organizations and firms in Russia in the last 20 years. It reveals a transition from the ethical to the rational-economical argumentation of the participation of firms in the social sphere. In the absence of institutional mechanisms, the most effective model of interaction between educational institutions and firms seems to be the one based on individual economic profits for both sides.
