Abstract

The article analyzes the conceptual and categorical apparatus and systemic characteristics of the definition of “general secondary education” in the context of the modern educational space. It is substantiated that the legal interpretation of the achievement of educational results within general secondary education is of great conceptual importance but needs to be expanded in the field of applied regulation at the level of educational institutions. The issues of information and psychological security and its relationship with indicators of psychological stability of respondents are considered. The expediency of introducing an integrated approach to ensuring internal educational equality at the institutional level is established, which, in turn, requires harmonization of the implementation of legislative requirements in general secondary education institutions. The author proposes a mechanism for overcoming regulatory and practical differences by developing a package of recommendations from educational policy actors aimed at improving the gender and social component of the educational process. Such recommendations can be adapted and implemented by educational institutions, considering the specifics of their functioning.
