The study is focused on determining the priorities of state policy in the field of national-patriotic education of students by forming a Ukrainian identity based on the national values of the Ukrainian people. Today, under the conditions of military aggression of the Russian Federation and information and psychological influence, the imposition of alien identity, Ukraine observes active changes in the public consciousness, in the system of values, ideals, and the spread of patriotic sentiments. Legislative initiatives aimed at strengthening the Ukrainian society‘s national value and semantic identities play an important role in this process. The formation of national-patriotic values of student youth should become a priority of state policy, as young people are the most active part of the Ukrainian population. Young people, being in the constant dynamic development of the value-emotional sphere, act as a driving force, impacting by their views the development of the Ukrainian statehood. The Strategy of National-Patriotic Education, approved by the Decree of the President of Ukraine dated May 18, 2019, No 286/2019, is based on the idea of strengthening Ukrainian statehood as a consolidating factor in the development of the society, formation of patriotism, and establishment of national values. However, the article draws attention to the insufficient reflection of humanitarian issues, in particular the role of national values in the formation of national interests and goals in the strategic security documents of Ukraine. Among the problems to be addressed, the Concept of the State Targeted Social Program of National-Patriotic Education for the period till 2025 indicates the unsystematic nature of forming an active civic position for the establishment of the citizens‘ national identity based on the spiritual values of the Ukrainian people, national identity, as well as low development of patriotic, military-patriotic, and spiritual-moral education. Thus, the strengthening of national value and semantic dominants in developing and implementing a holistic national policy of national and patriotic education of students will contribute to the unity and consolidation of the Ukrainian society under today‘s challenges and threats.
