Abstract

The article deals with the problems of creating and developing the education system in the BSSR in the 1920s. In the complex of measures developed for the Belarusianization of public life in the republic, priority was given to the public education system, because the success of solving the problem as a whole largely depended on the changes in this particular industry. Belarusization was carried out in parallel across all categories of educational and educational institutions. The fundamental principle of national policy in school affairs was to ensure the rights and opportunities of every nationality living on the territory of Belarus to educate children in their native language in proportion to their composition in the total population and the wishes of their parents. In the 1920s, the system of public education in the BSSR basically took shape, the principles of state policy and the activities of party and public organizations in this area were formed. In difficult material conditions, a network of general education schools, technical schools, and universities grew. The expansion of education in the Belarusian language laid the foundation for the education of national identity. This time became an important stage in the development of Belarusian science, when the first scientific institutions were created and began their activities, and a cadre of scientists was formed.
