Summary/Abstract: The position of tolerance in education is of dual importance: it is both the subject of teaching and a feature of the relationship between the participants in the process of education. It is maintained in this paper that the selection of teaching subject matter as well as the modes and conditions of teaching are equally important. Based on contemporary experience, the authoress tells us about the contents and achievements of human rights' teaching and the tasks of education in developing tolerance. Recent research (especially of western countries) has uncovered a need to broaden the socializational role of schools and to deepen the connections between school and society. Teaching about human rights depends on how important human rights and tolerance are to the society. Only clear expression of tolerance on all levels of behavior in the whole society, and true, not declarative, recognition of human rights in everyday life can ensure the necessary conditions for a broad socialization of these values.
