The purpose of this article is to discuss the educational tour as a form of educational process in the activity-the educational aspect of the geological excursion in the study of rock outcrops career «Borok» of Novosibirsk as a geological object of interest for educational tours and training-practical work. To write the article, we used methods of comparative analysis, generalization, field geological observations, sampling, cross-section sketches, descriptions of outcrops, including working with a mountain compass and methods of conducting a training geological-geographical and geoecological route, drawing up a map of the territory, laboratory studies of rocks. The absolute advantage of the Borok quarry is its location, as well as optimal conditions for a thorough inspection and description of rock outcrops. Branched dikes and veins are visible in the walls of the quarry, as well as the overlap of igneous Paleozoic rocks with sedimentary later deposits. Dumps of various Intrusive igneous, dike rocks and pegmatites, hydrothermal veins with ore minerals are of educational interest during excursions. The Borok quarry cooperates with schools, colleges, and Universities in Novosibirsk and is a platform for educational excursions to the production site and a place for training practices, as well as a venue for educational Olympiads in Geology and Geoecology. On the example of one of the production facilities of the city of Novosibirsk – the stone quarry «Borok», the possibilities of organizing and conducting geological excursions in order to study the geological structure of the territory, consolidate theoretical geological and geoecological knowledge, acquire skills in educational and practical work and analyze the results obtained are demonstrated.

The article emphasizes a thought that level of efficiency of teaching and educational process of higher school depends on level of professional training of teachers. Opportunities of process of optimization of teaching and educational work with students in their personal-social and professional selfrealization are shown.

The article deals with the problems of scientific and methodological support of the Concept of development of geographical education in the Russian Federation at school and ways to solve them in modern conditions. It is shown that both organizational and substantive issues are closely related to the position of the subject in the Standards and curricula of schools. A special place is given to the system of additional professional training for teacher training and retraining in the conditions of digitalization and distance learning.

The problem of lack of competitiveness in state-of-the-art education is getting a substantial problem for Russian education development. The phenomenon of competitiveness, applied to the system of education, provides an overview of different rating scales, allowing us to evaluate different aspects of competitiveness and quality of Russian education. According to the set of criteria, Russia demonstrates consistent indicators in many ways: results of education, internal unity, effectiveness of resource utilization. In that time, the most problematic results are related to indicators of economic effectiveness of education, development of scientific-educational sets and collaborations, practical effect of education. In these conditions, the digital transformation is based on one of the most important systemic solutions to all the problems, which means that it is especially important in connection with pandemics. The main result of the articles is the annotations of the six major projects of modernization and the increase of competitiveness of the Russian system of vocational education in the context of digital transformations of educational means.
