2023: Fewer children in kindergartens in Russia
At the end of 2023, the number of pupils of preschool organizations in Russia amounted to about 6.67 million. This is 4.9% less than in 2022, when 7.01 million children attended kindergartens. The negative dynamics are partly associated with a decrease in the birth rate, as stated in the BusinesStat review, published in early September 2024.
The study looks at public and commercial segments of early childhood education. This takes into account only the legal part of the commercial sector, that is, the volume of services of licensed private kindergartens. The indicators of companies providing childcare services, leisure and educational activities without obtaining a license are not taken into account.
According to estimates, in 2019 the number of pupils of preschool institutions in the Russian Federation was 7.61 million. In 2020, a decline of 2.2% followed - to 7.44 million. In 2021 and 2022, a decrease of another 1.4% and 4.5% was recorded with a final result of 7.34 million and 7.01 million children, respectively. Thus, in 2019-2023, the number of pupils of preschool institutions in Russia decreased by a total of 12.4%.
The observed trend is associated with a drop in birth rates and therefore a decrease in the number of preschool children. An additional factor in the fall in the number of pupils in 2020 was the COVID-19 pandemic, due to which many parents postponed the enrollment of children in kindergarten until the epidemic situation improved. The decrease in the number of preschoolers was constrained by the opening of new groups and the creation of additional places in kindergartens in regions with low access to preschool education. In 2023, approximately 98% of kindergarten pupils attended state preschool, the study said.[1]
2022: 4.5% drop in children to 7.01 million
In 2022, the number of students of educational institutions in Russia amounted to 7.01 million people, which is 4.5% less than a year earlier. Such data in October 2023 led to the analytical agency BusinesStat.
According to the study, from 2018 to 2022. the number of kindergarten pupils in the Russian Federation decreased by 7.5% largely due to a drop in the birth rate in the country. In 2014, the number of people born in Russia amounted to 1.9 million people, in 2022 - 1.3 million people. The annual decline in the birth rate led to a decrease in the total number of preschool children and, accordingly, the number of kindergarten pupils. A greater reduction in the market was restrained by the opening of new groups and the creation of additional places for children waiting for admission to kindergarten in regions with low availability of preschool education, experts say.
According to them, the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic and sanctions restrictions did not have a significant impact on the market. The basic preschool education sector in Russia is poorly commercialized. The majority of students receiving pre-school education attend budget pre-school organizations (98.4% of the total in 2022). To maintain the achieved level of availability of preschool education in 2020 and 2022. The state did not require a significant increase in funding for the industry due to a decrease in demand, according to BusinesStat.
According to Rosstat estimates, in 2018-2022. the number of teachers of preschool education in Russia ranged from 665.9 to 682.9 thousand people. The decrease in the number of teachers in 2021-2022. was due to a decrease in the total number of preschool educational institutions and a decrease in the number of pupils of preschool educational institutions.[2]
