苏联交通部现有大学15所、中专86所,每年培养出14000余名工程师和45000余名技术员。每年培养技术力量的费用高于一亿一千万卢布。在1970～1978年间,送往铁路的受过高等和中等专业教育的技术人员共有144000余人。因此,铁路上工程师的增长率从1971年的70.4％提高到1979年的82.4％,技术员的增长率从1971年的80％提高到1979年的94.5％。 The Ministry of Transport of the Soviet Union now has 15 universities and 86 secondary schools, each year more than 14,000 engineers and more than 45,000 technicians trained. It costs more than 110 million rubles to cultivate technology each year. Between 1970 and 1978, a total of more than 144,000 technicians were enrolled in highways and secondary specialized education. Therefore, the growth rate of engineers on railway increased from 70.4% in 1971 to 82.4% in 1979, while the growth rate of technicians increased from 80% in 1971 to 94.5% in 1979.
