Introduction. The article describes statistical approaches to the analysis of the dynamics of the average wages of employees of educational organizations in the main categories, implemented on the example of the Mari El Republic according to data for 2013–2018, which allowed us to assess the trends and speed of processes in the field of education at the regional level. Purpose: to propose and implement methodological approaches to the analysis of dynamic processes occurring in the field of remuneration of educators. Materials and methods. The information base for the study was the published statistical data of the Territorial Authority of State Statistics for the Republic of Mari El. As a research toolkit, we used algorithms for index methods of statistical analysis, methods of cluster and regression analysis, and graphical representation of data. Results of the research, discussion. The trends occurring in the remuneration of workers employed in the education sector of the Mari El Republic were identified and assessed for the main categories of workers, using average absolute and relative dynamics indicators, the characteristics of the development of wage indicators were analyzed, and linear trend models were obtained based on the series of dynamics, which allow to determine the average quarterly increment in the amount of wages of employees of enterprises and organizations involved in the education of the population. Conclusion. The analysis of the results showed that despite the outstripping growth rate of the average wages in the field of education relative to the average wages in the economy of the region as a whole, the wages of the main categories of employees of educational organizations is still significantly lower than the average for the economy of the region as a whole.
