The speedy processes of capitalization of all aspects of the North Caucasus public life arising in the course of bourgeois reforms put new challenges for the regional system of public education. The ideas of the government and the highest Caucasian administration determined the general contours and directions of the development of the educational process, oriented first of all at professional training of specialists able to work effectively in the different branches of rapidly developing industry and trade. The end of the Caucasian war and the transition to a strategy of “civil” development of the region created a background for forming here the system of public education assigned for different strata of the indigenous population. One of the leading positions in it were occupied by institutions of the lower and middle educational levels, where the general educational component was supplemented by professional, mainly vocational training. The first such educational institutions appeared in Ossetia. Their evolution was in line with educational reforms carried out by the Ministry of Public Education in 1860s and especially 1870s. On the other hand, public organizations and individuals took active part in the activities of these schools, providing financial and technical support both to the institutions and their students. Due to public and private initiatives new schools were also opened adding the state educational institutions providing vocational training. The vocational schools in Vladikavkaz, which were complemented by vocational courses and special departments at the lower schools, were the lower and middle levels of the regional educational system. But, in spite of necessity of such schools, they could not fully satisfy the growing educational demands of the population of Ossetia. In these circumstances the public support partly helped resolving the contradictions between an ability of the regional educational system and educational demands of the local population. The subject of analysis in the proposed article is exactly the processes of formation of vocational education in post-reform Ossetia and the role of public initiative in them.

Keywords: post-reform Ossetia, vocational education, Mountain school, vocational schools, vocational courses, educational reforms, public initiative.
