The article examines the evolution of state educational policy in the Russian Empire during the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries through legal regulation, institutional design, and public-law interests. While the primacy of service-oriented training persisted, a secular general-education paradigm gradually emerged, expanding the range of educational stakeholders and elevating the formative function of schooling. The analysis argues that sovereign authority and affiliated institutions established the legal foundations for a stable network of schools, reinforcing human capital and the independent development of the Russian state. The study concludes that a balanced correlation between vocational training and general education is essential for long-term national priorities.
