Annotation The subjects of the Russian Federation located in the regions of the North, Siberia and the Far East are characterized by attention to the issues of preserving the traditional way of life of nomads-reindeer herders, hunters and fishermen. At the same time, it remains relevant to study the issues of organizing the education of children traveling with their parents in the tundra and taiga. The purpose and objectives of the study are related to the hypothesis of the transformation of educational activities and the creation of new models of education in the nomadic region. Within the framework of the study, the level of education of parents from among representatives of indigenous small-numbered peoples engaged in reindeer husbandry, the possibility of expanding the family form of education and increasing the availability of all levels of education in remote form was monitored. The monitoring was attended by representatives of the Amur, Arkhangelsk, Magadan regions, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), Khanty-Mansiysk, Yamalo-Nenets, Chukotka Autonomous district, Taimyr Dolgan-Nenets Municipal District of the Krasnoyarsk Territory of the Russian Federation. In addition, cases of pilot family nomadic preschool and school groups have been collected and analyzed. As a result, the need for providing affordable secondary general education, secondary professional pedagogical education in correspondence form, using distance technologies has been identified. Strategies for the further development of nomadic education are proposed. Based on the analysis of empirical material obtained during field research in 2019–2020 and interregional round tables on the topic of nomadic education (March, April 2021), prospect models for organizing the education of the nomadic population in the conditions of digitalization have been developed.
