Abstract
The article is devoted to the issue of creating a national school in North Ossetia during the forced modernization of the 1920—1930s. The relevance of raising the topic today is emphasized, due to the public demand for a school that can adequately respond to the strategic challenges of the time and ensure the viability of the country’s multinational cultural community. The stages of reforming the education system in the national region in the context of the cultural policy of the 1920—1930s are highlighted, the socio-political and organizational aspects of the scientific, technical, methodological, personnel foundations of the new Soviet school formation are emphasized. A phased approach on the part of the authorities and administration to the implementation of plans for the nationalization of the school, in overcoming the mistakes that are inevitable in the revolutionary content of the transformations in the field of culture, is traced. It is concluded that the evolution of the national school in the 1920s—1930s reflected the socio-psychological reassessment in the highest authorities of the role of national cultures. As a consequence, political pragmatism in the development of the national school increased. In conclusion, it is noted that the experience and results of the formation of the national school in North Ossetia by the end of the 1930s determined the strategic vector of educational policy in the republic until the collapse of the USSR.
