Summary
The instillation of national and spiritual values in students relies on both pedagogical and social foundations. In this process, teachers play a key role, as they transmit knowledge and values to future generations. The education system serves as the main platform for shaping students’ national identity and moral worldview. Young educators, using modern pedagogical methods, can present these values in a more engaging and effective manner. Extracurricular activities and interactive approaches also contribute to strengthening national and spiritual education. Encouraging critical thinking helps students better understand and consciously embrace these values. As a result, the combined pedagogical and social foundations ensure the development of a new generation of morally rich, patriotic, and responsible citizens.
