EDUCATION AS A TOOL FOR ENSURING NATIONAL SECURITY

Abstract

The issue of improving the provision of national security of Ukraine by improving the sphere of education has been updated. It has been established that today's conceptual transformational changes taking place in Ukraine and the world require consideration of the field of education as an integral part of the formation of the general field of national security of Ukraine. It is proved that pAmong the various factors of national security, an important role is played by the educational sphere and educational potential, which is a system-forming factor in the life of society and actively affects the state of political, economic, social, defense and other components of security. The reverse statement is also justified: political, economic, defense and other spheres, being system-forming factors of society, determine the conditions for the formation and development of educational potential. National security cannot be ensured only by the means of educational policy, but it cannot be guaranteed in isolation from it.
