The Influence of Religious Worldview on the Formation of the Education System

Relevance. Education in the modern world is becoming one of the spheres of public life where interreligious Orthodox-Muslim dialogue is manifested, contributing to the integration of society. The differences and similarities in the systems of Muslim and Orthodox education at all its stages, starting from preschool, and their relationship to science allow us to assess the possibilities of such integration.

The purpose is to conduct a comparative analysis of the features of Muslim and Orthodox education in Russia.

Objectives: to describe the existing views of Orthodoxy and Islam on education and science in general; to consider secular and religious education from the point of view of the Orthodox and Muslim worldview; to assess the degree of implementation of the religious component in the systems of Orthodox and Muslim education; to determine the similarities and differences of Muslim and Orthodox education in the territory of the Russian Federation.

Methodology. The study was conducted on the basis of a systematic approach within the framework of structural functionalism using universal scientific methods such as analysis, comparison, generalization.

Results. In the course of studying the Orthodox and Muslim education systems, a comparative analysis of various stages of the educational process, their religious characteristics and the degree of introduction of the religious component into education was carried out.

Conclusions. The paper identified significant similarities between the Muslim and Orthodox religious worldviews regarding education, expressed in the recognition by both religions of the universally recognized values of love for nature, the state and other people. At the same time, in relation to science, there are differences between these concepts: Orthodoxy, despite its respectful attitude, sees science as a potential danger to humans; Islam treats science as the highest good.
