The article is devoted to the problem of education and upbringing in the society. The ontological basis for the human being's way of existence is the relations between cognition and transformation of reality. These relations help the human being perceive the things in existence as a whole. Being individualized, these relations contribute to the development of the human being's individuality, personal and professional potential which are likely to find their reflection in social relations. That is why the most rational means of perfecting the society are the continuing education and formation of personality. One of the conditions of the Russian society's development and improvement is the historically developed system of upbringing and education in our country's schools, functioning as a matrix, according to which the nation is reproduced in every new generation. The system creates favorable conditions for self-development, self-realization of essential forces of the most complex social system and every person separately.
