The article considers the features of the development of the education system in the Republic of Crimea as the main factor of socio-spatial development of the region. The authors have analysed the dynamics of the main indicators of the education system at three levels: general education, secondary vocational and higher education. The considered main indicators are as follows: geographical accessibility of educational institutions for the population, their provision with information and technical means of educational process and human resources. The analysis of human resources was carried out in the context of those categories of personnel who directly implement and provide the educational process. The study revealed the presence in educational institutions of managers and teaching staff without higher education. The article compares the number of external part-time and full-time employees in the categories under study, compares the results with the number of students. It is demonstrated that in the conditions of the tendency of growth in the number of external collaborators and reduction of full-time employees in the system of higher education the number of students who voluntarily left education is growing. The article also considers the dynamics of growth of the wage fund for these categories of employees, and compares the average wage per person by type of activity (education) in the Southern Federal District in relation to other federal districts. It is revealed that the level of remuneration of education employees in the Southern Federal District in 2021 is at the level of 2016 in comparison with other districts. According to the indicators of the personnel structure by the ratio of full-time employees and external part-timers, trend lines have been built to identify the trends of changes in their number. For some categories of employees the forecast for two years was made to identify probabilistic quantitative changes in the staffing of the education system. It is substantiated that the solution of personnel issues will lead to the preservation and increase in the number of students, improve the quality of education and human development in the region. The paper presents conclusions on the results of the study. On the basis of the constructed trends and conclusions the authors formulate specific recommendations to eliminate the identified problems in the education system.
