Teaching staff in Bashkiria in the 1950s and 1960s: solving the problems

The paper discusses the problems of the teaching staff that existed in the schools of Bashkiria in the 1950s-1960s. Similar processes are observed in the Republic of Bashkortostan and at the end of the 2010s. Then, 60-70 years ago, to a certain extent, it was possible to neutralize the shortage of personnel and improve the quality of pedagogical training of teachers themselves. This experience is currently relevant. Positive demographic changes in Bashkiria in the 1950s, the introduction of compulsory seven-year education and the expansion of secondary education, the impossibility of pedagogical universities and colleges of the republic to provide a high need for teacher training, insufficient attention of public education authorities to the training of national teachers, provision of schools, especially rural - these problems caused a number of measures described in the paper, which were taken by the leadership of the republic to improve the current tense situation. The author involved archival and research sources, statistical data; quantitative changes are analyzed for the named problems and individual periods. Significant positive changes were noted in issues with teachers in the republic. However, it was concluded that all the measures taken were insufficient to fully solve personnel problems.
