The educational system of the Russian school – the foundation of Russia's sustainable development

the article presents the activities of outstanding teachers of the late 19th century who devoted their service to the creation of the Russian national school: K.D. Ushinsky, the "father of the Russian national school", who laid the foundations of Russian pedagogy; N.I. Pirogov, who had a huge impact on the development of pedagogical thought and developed pedagogical principles used in the modern learning process; S.A. Rachinsky, the author of the concept of "the development of the national peasant school at the end of the 19th century," the creator of an effective educational system at the end of the 19th century, who managed to combine the foundations of spiritual and moral education into one system. The need to make changes to the educational process, giving priority to the nurtured function, is actively discussed by teachers, scientists, and public figures. The preservation of Russia is impossible without a school based on traditional Russian values. If the foundation of national education is not laid in the near future, serious consequences await us in the future – the unifying idea will not be passed on to new generations. When developing new educational systems, the author suggests referring to the pedagogical experience of famous teachers of the past. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that a parallel has been drawn between teachers of the 19th and 21st centuries, expressed in the need to develop the Russian education system, which poses great challenges for teachers in educating the younger generation.
