Collected data included information about the organisation of schools, hygienic conditions of classrooms, conditions of regular travelling to schools, using of day-rooms, base for physical education range of supplementary alimentation. It was established that on the contrary to the reforms program (education in different sites) secondary schools were located in 2/3 of cases in the same site with primary schools. Analysis of data from independent secondary schools showed that ensuring appropriate conditions for education was more difficult that in case of secondary schools located with primary school. A lot of problems were not solved with a such consequences like crowded schools, poor ventilation, inappropriate lighting, inconvenient furniture, Significantly better base of physical education and wide range of supplementary alimentation may be regarded as the positive aspects of created system. Unfortunately only a part of children took the possibility of supplementary alimentation. Both positive and negative aspects of education's conditions in urban and country secondary schools were similar with the exception of better technical status of buildings, more frequently taking offers of supplementary alimentation and more frequently organisation of breakfast at country schools. Urban schools had better conditions at day rooms and frequently owned the physical education halls.
