Abstract
Introduction. Currently, the problem of education in a heterogeneous Russian society, which is facing challenges of an anthropogenic, man-made and ecogenic nature, is becoming obvious. The anthropogenic challenge is accompanied by problems of discontinuity between the levels of education (secondary - general - higher), loss/substitution of traditional spiritual and moral values or attempts to ignore or pervert them. No less significant are personal qualities, which include, for example, intellectual laziness. The technogenic challenge and its ideological orientations actualize the problem of the “man-technology” relationship, and the ecogenic challenge is the predominance problem of consumer mentality in human relations with the surrounding world (spiritual-social-natural). Obviously, there is one source for these problems - education, which is considered an integral part of the educational process. Methodology. The research uses philosophical, pedagogical and historical approaches, which determined the choice of sources and made it possible to highlight the fundamental role of education, which exists in inseparable unity with learning. Discussion. Ignoring education is the essence of the above-mentioned problems rooted in modern education. The problems of modern education manifest themselves at the level of family education, represented by several generations; social space - in various groups (educational, professional, casual, by interests, etc.), united (sometimes temporarily) by a single goal, usually related to obtaining a profession. In these groups, there are carriers of different worldviews, representing in their totality society as a whole, which, with a heterogeneous level of education and loss of basic values, has difficulty responding to the challenges of modernity, endangering its very existence. Conclusion. Russia’s focus on preserving and strengthening traditional basic values determines the importance of education as a “key tool” in the field of education and enlightenment.
