THE CURRENT STATE OF PRE-SCHOOL EDUCATION IN RUSSIA AND MONGOLIA // Pedagogical Review. 2021. Issue 3 (37). P. 162-171

The article considers the state of modern pre-school education in Russia and Mongolia. It is indicated that in both countries, preschool education of children is a rightful and integral part of the state system of general education, which assumes the continuity of the educational process with ensuring a harmonious transition of children from preschool to primary school education. The article focuses on the goals and objectives of the education of children of senior preschool age, formed in the normative documents of Russia and Mongolia, based on personality-oriented pedagogy. The importance of understanding the current tasks of preschool childhood in both state educational systems is noted not from the point of view of preparing five- and six-year-olds for systematic education in school, but from the point of view of forming a viable personality and intrinsic value of preschool age. A comparative analysis of the current state of pre-school education in Russia and Mongolia has shown that both systems focus on the needs and age opportunities of the child, with the right to choose institutions, programs, forms of activity, methods of education and upbringing. It is concluded that the system of pre-school education in preschool institutions in Mongolia is at the stage of development, while in Russia there is sufficient experience to spread and enrich the educational system as a whole.
