These characteristics are compared to similar ideal images of the human personality with morals prevalent in Islam and other world religions. National education is impossible without use of native languages. The language of any nation represents all humankind’s cultural heritage and a necessary condition for the existence of the nation for whom it is considered native. The author considers the ideal human personality as manifested in Tatar language, folklore, and literature. He also examines the role of the Tatar language in the development of national education and the importance of native languages for education.
