School Education Development In South Ossetia In The 1930S

Abstract

During the years of Soviet power, school education in South Ossetia has accumulated rich experience in the education and training of the younger generation. The 30s of the 20th century in South Ossetia became the time of creating a new public education system. The activity of the Soviet government was aimed at expanding the network of school institutions, and their material base, translating school instruction into their native language, universal compulsory primary, and seven-year education was carried out. The massive movement in South Ossetia to assist schools and public education authorities has led to a rapid increase in the number of schools and student populations. This process led to the full implementation of universal compulsory primary education and the deployment of universal education based on the seven-year plan. The long-term plan for the development of primary education in the specified chronological period was significantly exceeded. The implementation of universal education in the South Ossetian Autonomous Oblast required significant capital investments in the development of school education. Competitions for the construction of school buildings are widely deployed in the region. The achievements were possible thanks to the mass political and explanatory work among the population, the skillful organizational work of the local party, Komsomol, and trade union organizations from 1930 to 1935. Changes to the school system contributed to raising the level of general education of students, the implementation of universal compulsory primary and seven-year education.
