Abstract

The article presents a study of the general situation in the field of primary, secondary and higher education in small cities of Russia, their current state and possible prospects. The real situation of small towns in six regions of the Russian Federation is analyzed. Their problems are highlighted: the lack of highly qualified personnel of various educational structures of small towns and settlements, significant difficulties in obtaining secondary specialized and higher education, lack of places in kindergartens, as well as a shortage of school buildings. Due to the transformation of the modern economy based on innovations, high technologies, intensive production and the use of creative knowledge, significant problems have been identified in obtaining higher education in peripheral cities (outside agglomerations), where there is not a single university, there is no specialized education and a minimum number of additional education organizations for children. Recommendations for the development of a network of secondary and higher professional institutions are proposed, taking into account the fact that many regions are not just specific, but also unique.
