Conclusion
Currently, there is a direct link between a quality, modern education and the ability to build an effective and safe economic state.
For a country focusing on an innovative development option, it is important to move forward the system of domestic education.
The priority national project “Education” is a modern and effective form of solving within the country a significant number of problems in the development of the educational sphere.
Due to the lack of a unified, clear mechanism for the material and financial support of the Russian educational system over a long period of time, it was difficult to talk about achieving quality indicators. Before the introduction of new educational standards in Russian preschool and school educational institutions, the educational and educational process did not involve the identification and development of talented and gifted children, the selection of individual developmental trajectories for them.
The development and implementation of the priority national project "Education" contributed to the modernization of methods and techniques of training and education of the younger generation. The principle of individualization and personal approach in education, used by educators at the present time, is an effective tool for satisfying the social order of society in accordance with the selection criteria for the best teachers in the Russian Federation.
