Abstract

The article describes the main areas of the formation of educational development in the Astrakhan province during nineteenth - early twentieth century, the relationship of history of the region with the development of education in Russia. Authors describe the role of religion in the development of public education. Attention is given to the development of education among the various nationalities of Astrakhan - Tatars, Kazakhs and Kalmyks. The authors concluded that the system of early childhood care and education, regardless of their ethnic origin was aimed at initial socialization of children, teaching them the skills to communicate with their peers as well as solving the problem of employment of their parents. It is concluded that in the development of pre-school education the role of ethno-religious dimension is large enough, but it is insignificant.
