The Utilization of the Material Resources of Agriculture

In accordance with the program elaborated by the Party for the development of agriculture there has been considerable increase in the monetary and material resources channeled into agriculture in the last decade. The share of investments in agriculture in the overall sum of capital investments throughout the national economy as a whole increased by 17.4 percent during the Sixth Five-Year Plan and 19.7 percent during the Seventh Five-Year Plan; it increased to 23.3 percent in the Eighth Five-Year Plan and 26.2 percent in the Ninth Five-Year Plan; and it continued to rise in the Tenth Five-Year Plan to 27.1-27.6 percent. During the Eighth and Ninth Five-Year Plans agriculture received over 3 million tractors, which was almost 2 times more tractors than were in existence in 1965. By 1975, deliveries of mineral fertilizers had increased 2.8 times over the 1965 level.

The Higher School on The Eve of the Party Forum

The creative labor of the Soviet people during the Ninth Five-Year Plan brought historic new victories in communist construction. The appeal of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) to the Party and the Soviet people; the decree of the CPSU "On the Socialist Competition for a Worthy Observance of the Twenty-fifth Congress of the CPSU"; the speech of Comrade L. I. Brezhnev, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Party, at the gala session devoted to the 250th anniversary of the USSR Academy of Sciences; the decisions of the December (1975) Plenum of the Central Committee of the CPSU; and our Party's new program document - the draft of the CPSU Central Committee to the Twenty-fifth Congress, "Basic Directions for the Development of the USSR National Economy in 1976-1980" outlined the long-range plans for the further development of all aspects of the life of our society, based on the latest advances of science and technology. The Soviet people are enthusiastically preparing for the next Party congress and are striving to greet it with new labor victories.

The Five-Year Plan for Science is Fulfilled Ahead of Schedule

The collective of the Kiev T. G. Shevchenko State University will greet the forthcoming Twenty-fifth Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) with new labor successes. Having joined in the all-people's movement for fulfilling the programs of the Ninth Five-Year Plan ahead of schedule, our higher education institution, through improvement in the organization of scientific research work, application of progressive research methods, and increased effectiveness of the labor of our scholars, has fulfilled the targets of our five-year plan in the area of science ahead of schedule. This achievement was promoted by the systematic work of the Party and other social organizations of the university that mobilized the collective to fulfill socialist pledges and monitored their achievement. The completion of our five-year plan for science had previously been slated for November 7, 1975. After publication of the decision of the April (1975) Plenum of the Central Committee of the CPSU on the convening of the Twenty-fifth Party Congress, the collective weighed its actual potential and assumed a new commitment: to fulfill the five-year plan by September 1, 1975. This commitment has been fulfilled.

The Development of Education in the Ninth Five-Year Plan

Public education workers - like the entire Soviet people - enthusiastically and unanimously greeted the decisions of the December (1974) Plenum of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU); the political conclusions and practical tasks included in the speech by L. I. Brezhnev, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, at the Plenum; the documents from the session of the USSR Supreme Soviet; and the appeal of the Central Committee of the CPSU to the Party and the Soviet people. They see in these documents new evidence of the continuous concern of the Party and the government for the development of public education throughout the country.

Attainments and Tasks of the Soviet School

In fulfilling the decisions of the Twenty-fourth Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), the Soviet general education school has made a significant contribution to cultural construction in our country. One of the main achievements of the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the field of education is the basic completion of the transition to universal secondary education of youth. The country has created a network of schools to comply with the law on universal compulsory eight-year education and to insure that boys and girls in town and country receive a secondary education. In the years that have elapsed, a certain reduction has occurred in the overall number of schools; for example, the number of elementary schools has been reduced by more than 1.5 times, although the number of secondary schools has increased. At the present time, approximately 75 percent of all pupils are attending secondary school.

The Development of the Young Specialist

A great deal of credit is due the institution of higher learning for its contribution in regard to the fact that, within a relatively brief period of history, the Soviet people have become one of the most enlightened and educated peoples of the globe. At present, over 22 million Soviet people have higher or secondary specialized education. There are now 853 institutions of higher learning in the country, with an enrollment of 4.8 million students. The task outlined in the Ninth Five-Year Plan — namely, to train 3.5 million specialists with higher education — has been fulfilled successfully.

Problems Pertaining to the Improvement of Price Formation

While eight months of intensive effort to carry out the decisions of the Twenty-Fourth Congress of the CPSU are left before the end of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, this five-year plan has already expired as far as the improvement of price formation is concerned. New prices are elaborated a year prior to their introduction and perform their economic role at a still later time. Thus the measures that are being enacted to improve wholesale prices will not have practical significance until the Tenth Five-Year Plan.
