Educational level of the population and economic security

Life safety, which is the right of every citizen, must be guaranteed by the state. The level of security is influenced by many factors that determine the stability and dynamics of the region's development, its independence and resistance to the impact of negative trends. From this set of factors, we will single out a conditional group that can be called “quality of life”. The quality of life in the region has a direct impact on the economic security of the territory. The level of education of the population is one of the factors of this group, and, in our opinion, it also affects the prosperity of the regions and their security. A decline in educational level is a modern trend, which not directly, but indirectly, leads to a decrease in the level of security, both in the region and in the country.

The article analyzes the tendency in the development of education in Perm Krai and the Volga Federal District. Why school graduates do not continue their education, and many do not even go to the tenth grade? What are the factors that affect the decline in interest in education in the region? In order to increase the prestige of higher education in the eyes of schoolchildren, focused work with students is necessary.
