Resume

The article outlines the peculiarities of functioning of the territorial organization of education system (preschool and school in particular). The authors emphasize that the transformational processes taking place in the territorial organization of pre-school and school education require the search for consensus-based solutions while seeking ways to improve it and ensure equal access to quality education. The paper proves that the principle of accessibility, which includes non-discrimination of education, physical and economic accessibility, is an important principle of the development of the state education system. Equal access to quality education, which in the conditions of modern reforms places additional responsibility on local governments, is the main criterion for improvement of the territorial organization of preschool and school education. The basic principles of functioning of the territorial organization of the system of preschool and school education in other countries are considered. The basic problems, which determined the necessity of optimization of educational establishments in the region, were determined. One of the main problems was the demographic crisis, which resulted in the growth of small-scale educational institutions and increased financial expenses for one student's education. The author proves that the quality of educational services in the region negatively affects the problems of material and technical provision of educational institutions, in particular the possibility of obtaining specialized education. Creation of a network of reference educational institutions as centers for quality and accessible education is the tool for improving the quality of the educational process in rural areas. The main problems encountered in the formation of a network of reference schools are identified, among them: the slow process of establishing foundation institutions, lack of their financial support, lack of necessary road infrastructure for organizing the safe transportation of pupils from places of residence to places of study, absence of employment programs (retraining), etc.
