In order to solve the problems of overcrowding in schools and classes and due to the need to create an additional spots, the Government of the Russian Federation and the state authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation should develop and approve a program promoting the establishment in the subjects of the Russian Federation (based on forecast requirements) new spots in educational institutions, with funding identification by July 1, 2015. Long-term forecasting of population dynamics between 7 and 17 years of age shows a decline in a growth rate of this age group in all scenarios, which indicates the release of school premises, reducing maximum number per class, reducing teachers’ workload, etc. Analysis of the number of students in the 2013/14 academic year confirms the need for auditing in this area at the level of the subjects of the Russian Federation to determine the actual needs and the required amount of financing. In the course of the conducted works, based on the demographic projection and the existing Russian and international experience were developed the potential model programs for construction, reconstruction and capital repair of schools.
