Educational Level of the Population in 1970-1979 (On the Materials of the Sverdlovsk Region)
( Pp. 46-60)

The article is devoted to the study of the educational level of the population of Sverdlovsk region in the 1970s. The sources for its study were legislative acts reflecting the state policy in the field of education, and materials from the 1970 and 1979 censuses. The purpose of the article is to trace the change in the level of education of the population of the Sverdlovsk region from 1970 to 1979. The authors analyzed the population censuses data on the level of education of the population. Conclusions are drawn about a significant increase in the proportion of people with secondary general and special, as well as higher and incomplete higher education. Among the population of 10 years and over, more than half began to have an education not lower than incomplete secondary, and in the groups of 20-29 and 30-39 years old, the vast majority of them became such. The percentage of people with primary education has decreased among the general population and among young people, but has increased in the older age categories. Compared with the RSFSR, the proportion of persons with secondary general and special education, as well as with higher education, increased during the intercensal period. However, the indicators of higher and incomplete higher education still lagged significantly behind the national level.
