On this day, all educational institutions of secondary vocational education celebrate their professional holiday. The birthday of the system of vocational education was October 2, 1940, when the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR “On the State Labor Reserves of the USSR” was adopted, which defined three types of schools: trade schools, railway schools and factory training schools. These schools were created in the shortest possible time. Admission to them was carried out through conscription (mobilization), as well as in the order of voluntary recruitment of young people.

The history of the creation of vocational education.

How long ago do you think vocational education appeared? The starting point is considered to be the appearance in 1701 of the first secular professional educational institutions, opened at the behest of the great reformer Peter I. These were schools of mathematical and navigational sciences, which are called the first real schools in Europe.

Catherine II made an attempt to create public schools.

Much attention was paid to vocational education with the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, when the problem of personnel for defense enterprises and for industrial enterprises arose.

Day of Vocational Education

Autumn is not only the beginning of a new academic year, but also the time of the main professional holidays in the field of education. On October 2, our country celebrates the Day of Vocational Education Workers, on October 5 the whole world celebrates Teacher's Day.

The profession of a teacher, one who teaches how to live and work, is rightfully considered not only one of the most ancient, but also one of the most significant andrespected in the world. For centuries, it combines tradition and innovation, carries a huge humanistic charge. It is teachers, mentors and craftsmen - regardless of whether they teach preschoolers, students of general education institutions or institutions of secondary and higher professional education - who pass on the baton of creativity to the representatives of the younger generation and preserve eternal values.

The system of vocational education for future workers began to take shape in pre-revolutionary Russia. At large factories and factories, vocational schools were organized, where students, under the guidance of experienced craftsmen and engineers, learned the basics future profession and professional techniques to get the job done right. The industrial training system developed by Russian engineers at the Moscow Technical School was demonstrated at international exhibitions in Philadelphia (1876), in Paris (1900) with constant success..


The system of vocational education has changed and improved. Schools of factory apprenticeships were created in the Soviet Union (FZU, students of the factory head teacher system were affectionately called "fabzaychats"). FZU existed from 1920 to 1940.

On October 2, 1940, the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR "On the State Labor Reserves of the USSR" was adopted. The purpose of creating a new system was the formation of a unified state system for the training of qualified specialists and the systematic mass training of qualified workers.

October 2 is celebrated by the system of training qualified workers in our country (institutions of vocational education (vocational schools), advanced training courses for workers, retraining courses for workers) as a professional holiday. On this day, all educational institutions of primary and secondary vocational education celebrate their professional holiday.

The first educational institutions that provided vocational training appeared in Russia at the beginning of the 18th century on the initiative of Peter the Great at the Tula arms factory, the Ural mining factories, in Moscow at the Prokhorovskaya Trekhgornaya Manufactory weaving factory. To obtain working professions, capable people were selected from among the schools soldiers, children of artisans and peasants. Graduates full course training, was awarded the qualification of a scientific master.

The birthday of the system of vocational education was October 2, 1940, when the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR “On the State Labor Reserves of the USSR” was adopted, which defined three types of schools: trade schools, railway schools and factory training schools. These schools were created in the shortest possible time. Admission to them was carried out through conscription (mobilization), as well as in the order of voluntary recruitment of young people.

At all times, people have recognized that almost any occupation can become prestigious - it all depends on how a person will work, because each profession has its own specifics, its own values ​​and its own heroes. And, of course, almost every profession has its own holiday - its own professional holiday - one of the reasons to get together and feel the significance and importance of the work performed.

Currently, there are more than 2.5 thousand institutions of vocational primary education and the same number of institutions of secondary vocational education in Russia, with more than 2 million people studying in them. The Russian authorities call the issue of training workers a key one - the country urgently needs specialists who work in a high-tech industry, including those who operate technically sophisticated modern production equipment, and therefore we treat with great attention and respect those who train workers so necessary for the country frames.

Date Celebration Traditions

The Day of Vocational Education, better known as the Day of Vocational Education, is unofficial, but widely celebrated in Russian educational institutions holiday celebrated annually on October 2.

Qualified personnel are needed in absolutely any field or industry. Their presence at enterprises at all times was considered the key to success, and the lack of them was a problem on a national scale.

To date, education in a particular field does not guarantee employment by profession, however, this problem does not apply to technical industries. The demand for such specialists capable of working with particularly complex high-tech equipment is growing every year, which makes it possible to revive the status of colleges and technical schools. As part of the increase in authority, the All-Russian Day of Vocational Education was established.

The history of open source software in Russia

The founder of the system of secondary specialized education is rightfully considered Peter the Great, who wished to provide an opportunity for education to anyone who wishes, regardless of his social status or origin. He also created the first technical schools in Russia, where even children from peasant families and artisans were admitted.

Upon completion, the state was able to get really professional personnel in shipbuilding and weapons business. The foundation of national education laid down by Peter the Great made it possible to form an industrially strong country.

The next important stage in the development of the educational system was the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the time of the development of factories and manufactories. Practically at any association there was a workshop where still young and inexperienced specialists were taught the principles of work. Then training centers began to appear not only at factories, but also separately in fairly large settlements. Beginning personnel first studied theory, and then gained practical skills, watching the work of real masters and trying their hand at work.

In 1940 the Council of People's Commissars Soviet Union signed a document establishing the rules for creating the country's labor reserve. It was this date, October 2, that was later considered the birthday of the VET in Russia. From that moment on, the People's Commissariat was able to call annually up to a million young men and women for training in railway, trade and factory schools. The provision was assumed by the state - a hostel, meals, textbooks and uniforms were given out free of charge.

Currently, secondary specialized education has lost its former prestige. The current leadership of the country is trying to return it to its well-deserved status, supporting it financially and legally, however, such measures are insignificant and do not give the planned results.

Date Celebration Traditions

Currently, the celebration is widely celebrated in professional circles. It is celebrated by all those who are involved in obtaining secondary specialized education - teachers, managers and directors of institutions, students and applicants who have not yet decided on their future profession.

On the eve of the day of vocational education, technical schools and colleges organize open days and open lectures for future students and their parents, as well as the so-called trade fairs. In addition to information events, entertaining, for example, congratulatory concerts are held. There, students demonstrate not so much their knowledge as creative skills, opening up for teachers from a new perspective.

Every year on October 2, Russia celebrates the Day of Vocational Education Workers. This is a holiday of teachers and masters of industrial training, students of vocational educational institutions, which once again reminds us of the importance of training qualified personnel for all spheres of human activity.

Brief history of the holiday

During the Second World War, in order to prepare a reserve of qualified workers, the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of October 2, 1940 “On the State Labor Reserves of the USSR” created a network of trade and railway schools with a two-year training period and schools of FZO (factory training) with six and ten months of study. In special vocational schools, the period of study was 3-4 years, in art schools - 3 years.
They recruited to these institutions in two ways: by conscription or at will.

In the order of conscription (mobilization), the chairmen of the collective farms were obliged to allocate annually two young males aged 14–15 years old to trade and railway schools and 16–17 years old to factory training schools for every 100 members of collective farms, counting men and women. women aged 14 to 55 years, and the city Soviets of Working People's Deputies were obliged to allocate annually male youth aged 14–15 years to vocational and railway schools and 16–17 years old to factory training schools in the amount annually established by the Council People's Commissars of the USSR.

The students were in the barracks and were fully supported by the state (food, uniforms, hostel, textbooks, teaching aids). For the maintenance of educational institutions of the State labor reserves from October 1940 to 1950 Soviet government spent over 36 billion rubles.

Today in the Russian Federation more than 700 thousand students study in 1007 institutions of secondary vocational education (according to the Federal State Statistics Service).

Dear teachers and masters of industrial training, students of the vocational education system!

Please accept my sincere congratulations on this important holiday for all of us, which once again reminds us of the importance of training qualified personnel for all spheres of human activity. Patience to you, health and prosperity!

A bit of history

During the Second World War, in order to prepare a reserve of qualified workers, the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of October 2, 1940 “On the State Labor Reserves of the USSR” created a network of trade and railway schools with a two-year training period and schools of FZO (factory training) with six and ten months of study. In special vocational schools, the period of study was 3-4 years, in art schools - 3 years.

Personnel training in the system of the State Labor Reserves was supervised by the Main Directorate of Labor Reserves.

In accordance with the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of October 2, 1940 "On the State Labor Reserves of the USSR", the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR was granted the right to annually call (mobilize) from 800 thousand to 1 million urban and collective farm youth males aged 14 –15 years for training in trade and railway schools and at the age of 16–17 for training in factory training schools.

In the order of conscription (mobilization), the chairmen of the collective farms were obliged to allocate annually two young males aged 14–15 years old to trade and railway schools and 16–17 years old to factory training schools for every 100 members of collective farms, counting men and women. women aged 14 to 55 years, and the city Soviets of Working People's Deputies were obliged to allocate annually male youth aged 14–15 years to vocational and railway schools and 16–17 years old to factory training schools in the amount annually established by the Council People's Commissars of the USSR.

The students were in the barracks and were fully supported by the state (food, uniforms, hostel, textbooks, teaching aids). From October 1940 to 1950, the Soviet government spent more than 36 billion rubles on the maintenance of educational institutions of the State Labor Reserves.

All graduates of vocational schools, railway schools and schools of factory training were considered mobilized, were required to work for four years in a row at state enterprises at the direction of the Main Directorate of Labor Reserves under the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR (with the provision of wages at their place of work on a common basis) and enjoyed delays in conscription to the Red Army and Navy for the time before the expiration of the period required for work in state enterprises.

In May 1941 alone, the educational institutions of the State Labor Reserves graduated 250,000 young workers for industry, construction, and railway transport. During the years of the Great Patriotic War vocational education institutions trained 2.48 million young skilled workers. In total, for the period 1941-1951, the training system gave national economy USSR about 6.3 million young skilled workers.

The call (mobilization) of young people to trade and railway schools, which are part of the system of the Main Directorate of Labor Reserves under the Council of Ministers of the USSR, established by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of October 2, 1940 "On the State Labor Reserves of the USSR" was canceled in 1953 by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council USSR dated September 10, 1953 "On the abolition of the conscription (mobilization) of young people in vocational and railway schools."

In 1959, all educational institutions that were previously part of the system of the State Labor Reserves and most of the departmental educational institutions that train workers were transformed into vocational schools with a term of study from 1 to 3 years and into rural vocational schools with a term of study of 1 -2 years. In the same year, the educational institutions of the State Labor Reserves were transferred to the jurisdiction of the Union republics, and the Main Directorate of Labor Reserves under the Council of Ministers of the USSR (which had previously been in charge of these educational institutions) was transformed into the State Committee of the Council of Ministers of the USSR for vocational education.

Russia celebrates vocational education holiday.

The history of vocational educational institutions in Russia goes back over 300 years. The first documentary evidence of the organization of such educational institutions dates back to the reign of Alexei Mikhailovich.

Highly qualified personnel are needed in any industry. The lack of such specialists becomes a problem for the entire economy of the state. The solution of this problem has already become interested in the federal authorities. The demand for technical specialists who can work with complex equipment in high-tech industries is growing every day, and the authority of secondary vocational schools is beginning to revive.

On October 2, 1940, the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Council ratified the decree “On the State Labor Reserves of the USSR”, which divided all schools into three types. In schools of factory training (FZO), training was carried out for 6 or 10 months, and in vocational and railway schools - 2 years. There were also special trade schools, in which the period of study lasted from 3 to 4 years, and in art - 3 years. They recruited to these institutions in two ways: by conscription or at will.

October 2 is the date of the annual celebration of Vocational Education Day. Traditionally, on this solemn day, assembly lines are held in all secondary specialized technical educational institutions, and students organize congratulatory concerts for teachers.

Today in the Russian Federation more than 200 thousand students study in 2500 institutions of primary and secondary vocational (technical) education.

Today is not an easy holiday
And your professional!
I wish you a golden life
To not be banal.
Good luck to the sea, a cart of successes,
Big bag of money
And in the soul - joyful emotions
Tsunami size.
Walking through life, handing out
I wish you knowledge
I congratulate you now
Happy Vocational Education Day!
