THE EXPANSION OF GENERAL EDUCATION SCHOOLS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR MATERIAL AND TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE KASHKADARYA AND SURKHANDARYA REGIONS (1950–1980)

This article analyzes the expansion of the general education school network and the formation of their material and technical base in the Kashkadarya and Surkhandarya regions in the 50s–80s of the twentieth century based on archival documents and statistical data. The article systematically covers the condition of oasis schools in the post-war years, the construction of new school buildings, and the involvement of collective and state farm funds in the educational infrastructure. Also, despite the quantitative growth indicators, problems such as the lack of material and technical equipment in remote rural schools, the shortage of classrooms, and multi-shift schooling, as well as their negative impact on the quality of education, are objectively analyzed.
