Σύνοψη: | The former Soviet Union countries share a unique educational perspective, based on numerous issues to be rediscovered. The current reality in former Soviet countries occurs in the context of increased interest in the role of spirituality in democratic society, and the gradually emerging discussions and methodological solutions of spirituality within public education. Teacher education in this context has a crucial role to observe this interest as a part of educational reality. This article focuses on a study that explored teachers’ understanding of spirituality as a dimension of education in one of the former Soviet Union countries, Latvia. The article also seeks to highlight that the issue of spirituality within education in post‐Soviet‐era countries needs to be addressed consciously and should be approached from below, considering spirituality as the essence and the inner way of sustainable human life. |
