DEVELOPMENT OF EDUCATION SYSTEM IN THE FAR NORTH AREAS ON THE BASE OF REGIONAL INDICATORS COMPLEX

This article is dedicated to the development of education system in the Far North areas of Northwestern Federal District based on the set of regional indicators. The main problem of regions of the Arctic zone and the Far North is insufficient level of general education, namely: primary, secondary, secondary professional and high. The tendency of education institutions closure is getting more evident year by year. First of all it affects pupils, prospective and current students. So, at the school level, long and sometimes insurmountable by pupil on his own transport way to the institution is one of the main problems, which in a number of areas is solved by nomadic schools, but they do not fully give the scholar the basics of school knowledge. Also obvious is the fact that potential employees are more attractive for employers in several spheres of working if they have high education, which as minimum promotes better career growth and provides an employee with higher level of knowledge and skills. In its turn the number of fellow-workers should have professional skills, which they can get in secondary professional institutions. But how is it possible, if education system is in an enormous breakdown, and people from their childhood do not have an opportunity to get an appropriate education from their childhood, at least primary. After all, the North has rich mineral resources base, which should be investigated directly there and it should be allowed at the level of secondary and high professional education. Otherwise, the brain drain and loss of the human capital will lead to the destruction of enormous territories. That is why it is necessary to create such educational system, which would maintain and increase human capital of the Far North, and people would not seek for searching educational alternatives beyond its territories. The solution of this problem may become the organization of regional indicators complex, which considers the impact of both economic and socio-political factors.
