Abstract. The article analyzes the peculiarities of national-patriotic education, aimed primarily at the formation of patriotism and national self-consciousness of the individual. At the same time, it relies on the cultural and historical experience of the people, its customs, traditions and centuries-old wisdom, spirituality.

Patriotism develops in a person throughout his life. Patriotism promotes the establishment of national dignity, the involvement in the practical development of statehood, the formation of a sense of pride for the Motherland. The emphasis on the Ukrainian system of education, which cannot be similar to others, is original and must be made up on its own land. The only ground for building a national system of education is a national culture that combines imprisonment, traditions, art, religion, on the basis of which the national consciousness of the people is formed. It is proved that the value relation to a society manifests itself through the cognitive activity of the patriotic nature, the concrete manifestation of which is an interest in the life of the peoples of Ukraine, its history, democratic and political changes, the availability of knowledge about one’s family, people, native land, national life and active social and public practice, constant personal life activity. Valuable attitude towards oneself is the concern for the safety of own health and life, readiness for self-rehabilitation and self-esteem education, mastering the vital competencies of a decent personality, etc.

The content of the «national idea» concept is revealed, which is the core of the modern system of national-patriotic education, and plays the role of a unifying, consolidating factor in social development, aimed at developing a person’s vital position, becoming a person as a citizen of his state. The components of the content of the national idea (national identity, language, culture, mentality, the will to realize the national goal and, finally, the state) are characterized. It is imperative that the content of the national idea should be constantly enriched, specified, filled with a new understanding of current and future goals, defined priorities, means and ways to achieve this goal.

It is proved that value attitude of schoolchildren to the Motherland, society, to themselves and work determines their connection with their people, state and society, personal harmony and self-affirmation, developed demand for labor and public activity for the good of Ukraine.
