It happens that inexperienced first graders and first graders manage to get lost in school. Since with no habit and 500 students to the entire institution can seem like a huge crowd. And what happens if you bring together all the students at once, who are as many as there are schools in Russia with a multiplication of about a thousand? It is clear that such an event is something absolutely impossible. However, it is enough to get acquainted with statistics about how many schools and students in them are in Russia in order to simultaneously admire and be horrified by their large numbers. For this article.
How many schools in Russia
In Russia, most students have the opportunity to study in various types of institutions:
- Primary education for children of preschool and primary school age.
- Secondary schools.
- Boarding schools (these include boarding schools, sanatorium schools, health facilities and the like).
- Cadet schools.
- As well as educational institutions for children with disabilities and children with mental disabilities.
This is just an enumeration, which, however, is already amazing.
But still, how many schools in Russia? According to rough estimates, the number of general education institutions exceeds 50,000. At the same time, most of them are secondary schools and boarding schools, mainly providing secondary education to students. Their share is 9/10 of all educational institutions in Russia, not counting higher educational institutions and institutions of secondary specialized education.
How many students are in Russian schools
When considering the number of students and pupils, only the group of the above types of educational institutions was taken into account. So, in general, students and pupils make up a little more than 15 million people. This is slightly less than one tenth of the total population of the Russian Federation, which, of course, cannot but amaze. Moreover, every year, schools throughout Russia accept about 2 million children.
How many teachers and teachers in Russia
Compared with the situation that existed during the USSR, in our time there are more teachers for each school than before. This is due to the more "small" classes. If in the days of the Soviet Union classes of 30 people were the norm, now the average number of students in one class has decreased by about 10 people in order to improve learning productivity and behavior. The number of teachers in the Russian Federation is approximately 1.5 million people.
