ABOUT PROBLEMS OF ORGANIZATION OF PRESCHOOL EDUCATION IN TUVA IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE 60S OF THE XX CENTURY

Abstract

The article studies organization of preschool education in the Tuvan ASSR in the first half of the 60s of the XX century. The relevance of the research topic lies in the insufficient study of the history of the formation of the preschool education system in Tuva. This circumstance requires its scientific understanding. The opening of the first preschool institutions in Tuva was primarily connected with the idea of protecting children’s health. Kindergartens and nurseries also provided an opportunity to actively involve Tuvan women in public life and production. Based on the study of archival materials, the article describes the general state of preschool institutions in this historical period. Children’s institutions in the Republic belonged to different departments. There were nurseries of the Ministry of health, kindergartens of the Ministry of education, collective and state farms, as well as seasonal preschool institutions. Preschool education, like any other pedagogical phenomenon at the stage of its formation, faced certain problems. This article attempts to highlight the main ones. This is a problem of low coverage of children in preschool institutions due to disruptions in the construction and commissioning of new preschool institutions. The lack of educated teaching staff was one of the main obstacles in the development of preschool education. The article also introduces archival materials of the Ministry of education of the Tuvan ASSR of the specified period.
