In Turau volost there are 18 schools: 17 primary schools and 1 seven-year school. One of the volost's schools, the one in Khlupin, is not working because its teacher was dismissed.

The number of pupils is 872 in the primary schools and 350 in the seven-year school.

The condition of the village schools is satisfactory: the schools are supplied with textbooks to the extent of 70 percent (the seven-year school is worse off in this respect), and the schools have visual teaching aids, though not many.

As for cultural and educational work in the town of Turau, it was carried on without any particular plan and was haphazard in character. In Turau there is a theatre, a club and a reading room (khata-chytalnia).
