“even Though we are socially oriented non-profit organization and work in the seaside area for 27 years, from 2017 we stopped paying subsidies. Not only our private school, but others, says Popugaeva. — For financial regulations is 60 to 90 thousand roubles on the child. Money usually go for teachers ‘ salaries, textbooks and manuals. And the money that parents pay for the education of children, cover only 80% of the costs of the school.”
Irina Popugaeva notes that the school employs 58 workers, and pay them a salary difficult.
“We wanted to make parents a discount because they’ve had a lot of children from March to end of may, but could not — did not have enough money. Many parents lost their business during a pandemic and not only in may refused training, but really took the documents,” says Popugaeva.

However, the Vice-Governor Eduard Batanov assured me that all the schools have already been provided, supposedly counted. Why, then, in the Primorsky district of such problems?” — asked the Deputy.
Ivanov promised what to write on Batanova, to find out whether it was “cheating, stated from the rostrum”, or a technical error.
“adjustment of the budget will be in September, it will be possible to make amendments,” said Irina Ivanova.
