To achieve the efficient functioning of the education system, it is necessary to manage educational resources in such a way that the results of the education system should meet the demands of the country and region development, satisfy the interests of students, parents, and employers, etc. Experience shows that in order to achieve a qualitatively higher level of efficiency, it is necessary to introduce major changes into the education system. The project Reform of Education System suggested concrete steps to be taken in this direction. Evaluating the concrete outcomes of the project, it is important to establish whether the project has succeeded in becoming a model of a major reform of Russian education. It is also necessary to determine whether the offered model has proved itself to be efficient.
