The purpose of the article is to determine the dynamics of development of various educational subsystems in the regions of Russia. Discussion. To establish this dynamics, the regions are grouped according to a set of indicators characterizing the level of development of preschool, General, secondary special and higher education. Groups (virtual clusters) similar in level and character of development of their educational subsystems are formed. Cluster analysis showed that in the educational system of Russia there are five groups of regions. The differences in the first three groups are not so much quantitative as qualitative. The lag on the sum of the normalized values (quantitative) in two clusters - the outsiders. Results. It is established that the dynamics of development of various educational subsystems of the regions has both similar features and differ- ences. The indicators of pre-school education are aligned due to higher rates of development in the regions-outsiders. Indicators of development of secondary education have low positive dynamics. The dynamics of training of specialists of secondary education in all groups of regions is steadily declining. The number of students in higher education institutions is rapidly and steadily declining in all groups of regions.
