ORGANIZATION FEATURES OF SOCIAL PARTNERSHIP OF THE SCHOOL IN THE PRACTICE OF FORMING THE TEENAGER READINESS FOR MILITARY SERVICE ^{[№ 2 ' 2025]}
The formation of adolescents’ readiness for military service is an urgent task of modern society due to the need to foster civic responsibility, patriotism, physical endurance and moral and psychological stability in young people. One of the priority areas in solving this problem is the school’s social partnership with various institutions. The school’s social partnership is a stable system of interaction between the educational institution and government structures, military organisations, parents, public associations and sports clubs. As one of the types of interaction in education, social partnership is aimed at implementing joint educational, upbringing and career guidance programmes that ensure the formation of a comprehensively developed teenager’s personality. An adolescent’s readiness for military service includes the following components: patriotic consciousness and civic responsibility; physical fitness and health; psychological stability; and basic military knowledge and skills. Social partnership contributes to the integration of resources of various social institutions, allowing more effective organisation of upbringing and education focused on preparing young people to defend the Fatherland. The features of school social partnership can be classified as follows: internal (work of school military-patriotic clubs, training of teachers, organisation of patriotic events); external (interaction with authorities, military units, sports clubs, participation in municipal military-patriotic initiatives); global (consideration of state policy in the sphere of patriotic education, participation in federal programmes, study of international experience). Modern approaches to the organisation of social partnership involve the use of innovative forms: digital platforms for distance learning with military specialists, interactive simulators; military-historical reconstructions, strikeball and laser tag competitions; integration of school programmes with the activities of military units; military sports camps and tourist trips; patriotic education clubs with the participation of veterans and military personnel. Experience shows that the use of various forms of social partnership helps to improve the level of physical fitness of adolescents, develop their discipline, leadership skills, team spirit, and the formation of stable civic and patriotic beliefs. School social partnership plays a key role in shaping adolescents’ readiness for military service. The interaction of educational institutions with military structures, authorities, sports organisations and parents helps to create a favourable educational environment conducive to preparing young people for military duty. The use of innovative methods and the active inclusion of schools in State patriotic programmes ensure the successful implementation of this task in the face of modern challenges and threats.
