The article, based on the consideration of the institutional context of the educational process, reveals the current problems of social management in the fi eld of education and proposes some directions of institutional transformation.In particular, the authors consider the expansion of opportunities for individual education (tutoring and mentoring), active development of elder education in accordance with the concept of lifelong learning, equalization of the status of paid and free education, as well as the active use of information and communication technologies and AI in the educational process.
