Abstract

Introduction. The subject of the study is the issue of financing education during the first five-year plan. The practical needs of the Votsk Autonomous Region predetermined the specifics of financing and an integrated approach to solving the problems of literacy elimination, implementation of preschool, primary, seven-year and vocational education, as well as the maintenance and building of educational institutions.

Results. During the implementation of the first five-year plan, funds from the local budget were allocated for the development of primary education, which also practically provided for the maintenance and construction of educational institutions, the supply of educational and economic needs, and the payment of wages. Expenses for advanced education and institutions for the elimination of illiteracy were mainly planned at the expense of the state budget.
