In the course of the study, an empirical approach was applied to the collection and systematization of data related to the lexicographic analysis of the concepts of “education” (enlightment) and “educational activity”, and the documents of their legal regulation were studied. To consider the concept of “education” as a kind of progressive social mission, the purpose or result of which is the conveyance of advanced ideas and knowledge, the author uses the term “education” or “educational activity”, and calls the subject of this activity an “educator”.
