Formation of the education system in South Ossetia - State of Alania: structure and organizational and pedagogical features of management, legal aspect

Abstract

The article deals with the management system in the educational sphere of South Ossetia-the State of Alania, both during the reform of the Soviet system and at the present time. Hard times for the republic, 1989-2008, negatively affected the socio-economic development of the country as a whole, and in particular had an impact on the education system of South Ossetia. Currently, the only university in the country – the South Ossetian State University-has retained the positive aspects of Soviet education, including training at the classical level of higher education-specialty. The authors note that at present knowledge is the main factor in the development of the young state. The importance of cooperation in the field of education of the young state and the Russian Federation is invaluable. Integration processes with Russia are supported by normative legal acts in the field of science and education-contracts, agreements. The article presents the current structure of education in South Ossetia and the main indicators. For the further development of South Ossetia at the present stage, it is important to ensure a high level of the educational process. The author also draws attention to the decrease in the number of the country’s population, which was caused by political and legal aspects. No matter what natural resources the region has, without a professional approach to management, and without knowledge, there will be no development, because in the context of globalization, new innovative approaches to management are extremely important. There is a need for a systematic analysis of educational practices, as well as the organization, planning and control of educational activities based on compliance with legal norms.
