The Problem of the Development of a Small School in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)
The aim of the article is to analyze and study the structure of rural ungraded schools, highlighting some of its features. The objectives of the article are to reveal the essence and features of ungraded schools; identify the main problems of small schools to attract young teachers. The hypothesis of the article suggests that the development of small schools in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) will be favorable if the problem of personnel in schools is studied; if the location of schools examined, it will become a center for continuing education for children. The authors applied such methods as questioning, conversation, observation. According to the results of the study, the authors concluded that in small schools there is a general shortage of personnel: music teachers 40 %, teachers of foreign languages 38 %, teachers of fine arts 12 %, teachers of labor education for girls 18 %, history teachers 48 %, geography teachers 28 %; The schools have equipment and teaching materials shortage, including the lack of interactive whiteboards, laboratory and technical equipment, computer equipment (also exacerbated by the fact that in most villages there is no Internet connection), the dilapidation of schools in general. In this regard, there is the problem of closing small schools, resulting in the fact that children living in remote areas of the republic may not get general secondary education.
