Abstract

The article deals with the education system development in Kyzyl in the first decade after Tuva has become a part of the USSR. The main source of the article was periodical press, considering the newspapers as the most popular source of information in the considered period. Moreover, the periodical press played an important role as a mediator between the population and authorities. For example the readers had an opportunity to address their letters about social, cultural or economic problems in Kyzyl to the edition of “The Tuva Pravda”; after that the citizens could have an official response from the authorities in the newspaper. Basing on the periodical press and documents of the Central State Archive of the Republic of Tuva, the conclusion has been drawn that the education system was highly developed within that short period. For example, the first primary schools in the Tuva region were opened in 1930, but in 1952 they already had their Kyzyl Pedagogical Institute and the population could provide with the teachers by themselves. However, there were some defects of the education system related to incorrect methodical skills of the teachers, weak control of the department of education, poor technical equipment and insufficient number of classrooms
