Educational clusters are a popular but controversial topic, which is related to the confusion in the use of the word “cluster” in the economy and education. Cluster development mechanisms are major attraction for education. However, without a clear understanding of how these mechanisms work, how they can be used to develop education, and what is the product of the cluster’s activities in this area, it is extremely difficult to unify the work. The education system implies a wide interaction of educational institutions implementing different forms and levels of education. Clusters, as a mechanism based on the maximum use of scientific achievements and with mandatory training of all employees of its member organizations, should play a much greater role in the education system. The paper presents the experience of building new education systems based on the cluster policy and networking cooperation considering the use of “the third place”. It also addresses 10 steps of cluster development and their prospective. In the USA, an innovative regional ecosystem is being actively emerging, including innovation and education clusters. The author considers the possibilities of cluster development in Russia and concludes that due to the lack of elaboration of legislation, the creation of educational clusters is an exception rather than a development mechanism.
