there is a need for them in higher schools in the outlying districts.

to 58 last year. Nev schools were set ur at leading enterprises and construction
projects throughout the republic. For example, fourFZO schools were opened in
tle "G uzugol'" Combine and two FZO schools and one trade school were set up at
the 'l'ranecaucasus Metallurgical Plant which is now under construction. The number
of students increased by several thousand.
One of the-most serious deficiencies in the labor'reserive school system'is
the large turnover of students, particularly in the coal regions. B20 schools
in Tkvarcheli and Tkibuli lost many of their students as a result of the failure
of local organizations to provide proper living conditions and industrial training
for the young students, and also inefficiency on the part of.srhool directors.
