The goal of the study is to understand the role of the Yakut ethnopedagogy in the formation of the education system in Yakutia.

The objectives to achieve this goal are as follows:

• -    To study the Yakut ethnopedagogical tradition;

The time frame of this topic covers the period from the beginning of the 90s of the 20th century to 2008.

Ethnopedagogy was designed to address the current issues of the future socioeconomic development of Yakutia. The field of education was an integral part of the socio-economic modernization.

In the new post-Soviet conditions, the modernization of the regional educational system was carried out gradually, through various experiments put forward mostly by ethnopedagogues. Problems and directions of the research were determined in regular various scientific events and government plans of the Republic of Sakha.

Research on ethnopedagogy in the field of secondary educational institutions prior to the adoption of the Comprehensive Project for the modernization of the regional system of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) (2008) was defined in the following areas: family traditions in raising children in the Yakut families and knowledge of the enopedagogical tradition.

A group of researchers led by A. P. Okoneshnikova was first who touched upon the issues of familiarizing children with the revive and development of the traditional Sakha culture. This initiative was also taken up by other researchers.

Researchers S. P. Danilov and V. S. Yakovlev give a detailed scientific understanding of the traditions of raising children in the Yakut families.

At the same time, there is a growing number of studies examining in more detail the works of Soviet Yakut literature on pedagogy.

Thus, the ethnopedagogical tradition and various interdisciplinary studies on this problem have contributed to the modernization of the regional education system in Yakutia.
