Abstract: The object of this study is the system of national education in the Khakass Autonomous Region in 1946-1964. Special attention in this study is paid to such elements of the national education system as the development of a network of educational institutions, methodological and logistical support of the educational process, as well as quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the personnel. The author also examines the influence of geographical and demographic features of the region on the dynamics of national schools, and also draws attention to the consequences of the educational reform of 1958 in the field of teaching in the native language and the study of Khakass as a native language. The author analyzes the reasons for the gradual reduction in the number of national schools, and also notes the problems that hindered the development of the national education system in the Khakass Autonomous Region. The novelty of this work lies in the fact that for the first time the materials of the funds of the State Archive of the Krasnoyarsk Territory are introduced into scientific circulation, as well as a comprehensive study of the problems of national education in the post-war period is carried out. The author comes to the conclusion that the reduction in the number of national schools, as well as the reduction in the number of students who studied in the Khakass language and studied their native language, was due to a whole complex of factors, including: administrative, logistical, personnel.
