Abstract:
The article focuses on multicultural education as the key factor in professional training of university students. The authors examine the Russian educational system, which is based on the national educational standard and shapes the content of education in accordance with the structure of the Russian national identity, seeking to preserve and disseminate the ethno-cultural heritage and national cultures throughout Russia and beyond. The article looks at the foundational concepts of education and culture and examines the nature, principles, and ob-jectives of multicultural education which have emerged as a result of the new paradigm in the system of professional training in response to the new challenges of the modern time and the ideas of the Bologna process promoted by leading European universities. The research meth-ods include monitoring, interviews, and content analysis. The outcomes of the study show that all levels of Russian education should be represented in the system of multicultural education, including preschool, elementary school (grades 1–4), general secondary school (grades 5–9), full secondary school (grades 10–11) as well as other institutions of secondary, higher, and continuous education. The main principles of multicultural education are the national and cul-tural basis of education, humanist transparency, and learner-centered approaches. The main objective of multicultural education is the building-up of competencies that contribute to the successful all-round development of an individual in a multiethnic society. The article re-views the experimental research conducted by the scholars of the Vladimir branch of the Fi-nancial University under the Government of the Russian Federation and its practical out-comes, which further prove that comprehensive interaction of traditional and innovative teaching methods and approaches in professional training and individual development is only possible within the balanced framework of monocultural and multicultural formats of higher education. The outcomes of the research are used in organizing the educational process in the Vladimir branch of the Financial University and recommended for implementation in other institutions of higher education, since the interaction between traditions and innovations with-in the global education highlights the main function of multicultural education: turning out modern professionals who are ready to face the challenges of real life and work in the global-izing society.
