SAFE EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT AS AN OBJECT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL SUPPORT: CONCEPT, STRUCTURE AND LEGAL CHARACTERISTICS

Abstract

The article provides a comprehensive administrative and legal analysis of the safe educational environment as an independent and complex object of public legal support. The author proceeds from the position that the modern educational space has gone beyond the traditional framework of learning activities and increasingly becomes an environment exposed to social, psychological, informational and security risks. Under such conditions, ensuring safety in the educational sphere acquires not only pedagogical or social significance, but primarily an administrative and legal dimension, since the state bears responsibility for creating appropriate conditions for the realization of the constitutional right to education. The paper substantiates the expediency of considering the safe educational environment through the prism of administrative law as an object of public administration and legal regulation. It is emphasized that the lack of a unified legislative definition of this concept necessitates its doctrinal interpretation and scientific systematization. The author proposes an original approach to defining a safe educational environment as a set of legal, organizational and managerial measures aimed at protecting the life, health, dignity and legitimate interests of participants in the educational process. Special attention is paid to the structure of the safe educational environment, which is viewed as a multi-level system consisting of subjects of administrative and legal support, objects of protection, a regulatory framework and administrative procedures for the implementation of security policy in the field of education. The importance of interagency cooperation between public authorities, local self-government bodies, law enforcement agencies and educational institutions is emphasized as a prerequisite for effective safety management. The article identifies the main legal characteristics of a safe educational environment, including its public nature, regulatory conditioning, managerial orientation and comprehensive character. It is concluded that the safe educational environment constitutes an essential element of the administrative and legal system of public security and requires further improvement of legal regulation, taking into account modern challenges, risks and threats affecting the educational sphere.
