Figure 1.--Here we see a Soviet Kindergarden in 1965. Notice that while dressed differently, all the children wear long stockings. Russian children very coomonly wore long stockings through the 1960s. I'm unsure about the colors. This image suggests that the long stockings were being held up by a bodice |
We have very limited information on levels in Russian education. We notice kindegardens as part the Soviet system. We are not sure when they were introduced. The state system was divided into both primary and secondary sections. During the Tzarist era many working-class children and former serfs did nt complete primary studies. secondary education was very limited. Until the Revolution, working-class children had very limited access to education. The Sovit state significantly expanded the average Soviet citizen's access to education. Children from families of the former privlidged class were restricted in their access to higher education. Political reliability was an important factor in gaining acceptance to the university. We have little information at this time on post-Soviet Russia.
I do not know if there were kindergarden during the Tsarist era.
We notice kindegardens as part the Soviet system. We are not sure when they were introduced. They were presumably at first more common in the larger cities. Kindergarden at least since World War II seems to have been very extensive. I am not sure, however, if they were compulsory or if so when they were made compulsory. . Unlike primary and secondary school students, Kindergarden children did not wear uniforms. We believe that the children enter kindergarden at age 5 years.
The state system was divided into both primary and secondary sections. During the Tzarist era many working-class children and former serfs did not complete primary studies. secondary education was very limited. I'm not sure if primary education was even compulsiry. Until the Revolution, working-class children had very limited access to education. This changed dramatically after the Revolution. I do not have details, however, concerning compulsory education laws.
The Soviet state significantly expanded the average Soviet citizen's access to education, especially secondary education. Children from families of the former privlidged class were restricted in their access to higher education. Political reliability was an important factor in gaining acceptance to the university. We have little information at this time on post-Soviet Russia.
