Material and technical supply and procurement of edicational process of the schools of Tuva in 1990's and early 2000's

The article analyzes effects of the reforms in the late 20th century and in the early 21th century on the material and technical resources, financial condition and provision by the books of the schools of Tuva. The author notes that early in the 1990s the budget system of the Republic was in a difficult situation. The financial dependence on the Federal center, decline in manufacturing output and agriculture, exacerbation of economic crisis and rising inflation had a negative impact on the situation of the schools of the region. The case studies of the literary and digital sources show that the increase in accounts payable on utility charges, decay of the educational buildings, late payment of wages for the teachers, poor status of the school libraries, insufficient provision by computers and training equipment became an integral feature of the schools. In conclusion, the author draws that neither of the schools were closed in Tuva despite the subsidized status of the republic, agrarian nature of its economy and weak tax administration in 1990s. On the contrary, the new educational buildings were opened in the rural districts and at the out-of-the-way places. The ministry of education of the republic and administrations of the educational institutions intensely looked for the ways to solve the occurred questions. This led to soften a problem severity. The author pointed the positive sides in the development of the schools during the period under review: the supply by educational and methodological literature, strengthening of the material and technical resources, gradual increase of the financing of the local educational system. However, these improvements only happened early in the 2000s.
