This goal is the comprehensive development and upbringing of the individual through the formation of full-fledged speech skills in the pupils, the abilities to read and count, desire and ability to study. In this State standard the main attention was paid to discharge the pupil's study time, was reduced the duration of lessons. And to preserve and strengthen the health of the pupils 3 classes of Physical culture were introduced in each class of the primary school.
