A STUDY OF THE SOCIAL ADAPTATION OF ORPHANED GRADUATES OF VOCATIONAL EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

A problem of successful social adaptation of graduates of orphanages is poorly studied and has a large number of questions, which is due to various reasons: from the multifactorial influences of the social environment of a particular region, a specific way of life, to the individual characteristics of a particular orphan graduate, the society in which he lives, etc. The relevance of the article is due to various circumstances: the incomprehensible social policy of the state associated with the massive closure of orphanages, their transfer to other departments unrelated to education and pedagogy; the growing need for orphan graduates in vocational education, ensuring the success of their life and the liquidation of vocational education institutions where orphans could receive a profession, being legally on full state support; loss of practical work experience related to the support of orphaned graduates in the process of their life. Units of institutions have retained invaluable experience in working with orphans in their post-international socio-psychological support, pedagogical support for their social adaptation, and harmonious integration into society. The researchers focus on the invaluable experience of one of these institutions.
