Etnokultūros ugdymas - šiuo metu viena iš aktualiausių temų, diskutuojant apie dabartinę švietimo reformą, analizuojant jos teigiamas puses ir trūkumus. Bendrose ugdymo programose (2003), nurodoma pagarba gimtajai kalbai, tautos kultūrai, tradicijoms. Siekiama, kad mokiniai suvoktų save kaip atsakingą tautos narį, ugdytų toleranciją kitoms tautoms. Tačiau mokyklose šie siekiai neretai tampa tik programinėmis nuostatomis. Mokiniai sunkiai suvokia savo tautos istorijos, kultūros savitumą, lietuviškosios kultūrinės ir pilietinės tapatybės puoselėjimo būtinybę. Mokykla yra žinių, įgūdžių šaltinis, kuris ugdytiniui padeda tobulėti. Vienas iš ugdymo įstaigų uždavinių turėtų būti – praplėsti etnines tradicijas, dorines vertybes, dvasingumą. / The development of etnoculture is currently one of the most relevant themes while discussing about contemporary educational reform, analysing its benefits and drawbacks.
