Beginning of the school year. Every self-respecting educational institution strives to offer students educational services in addition to the state (municipal) assignment established for it, but no longer free of charge.
The new education law does not prohibit this type activities, which is regulated by the Rules for the provision of paid educational services (hereinafter referred to as the Rules), approved by the Government of the Russian Federation. The rules determine the procedure for the provision of paid educational services, the rights, obligations and responsibilities of the contractor and the customer and apply to all educational organizations.
Paid educational services - this is the implementation of educational activities on assignments and at the expense of physical and (or) legal entities under educational agreements concluded upon admission to study (hereinafter referred to as the agreement). The one who provides them is called Performer (in our case this is a school), and the one who wants to order them or orders them - Customer (in our case, these are the parents (legal representatives) of the students).
According to the Rules, paid educational services cannot be provided in place of educational activities, the financial support of which is provided through budgetary allocations from the federal budget, budgets of constituent entities of the Russian Federation, local budgets . That is, everything that turns out to be within educational standards, is free , and everything beyond that is paid. If this requirement is violated, then the funds received by the Contractor illegally are returned to the persons who paid for these services.
To make sure that a school is free, look at its Curriculum. It contains a list of subjects and the number of hours allocated to each subject per week (curricular and extracurricular). All this is free for students. For example, the Curriculum provides for the study of one foreign language. If you want children to study the second foreign language or, for example, nanotechnology and robotics, but they are not in the Curriculum - then if you please, fork out the cash.
Paid educational services are provided only at the request of the parents (legal representatives) of students and contractual basis, i.e. the school has no right to force a student to attend paid classes in mandatory, and also if the corresponding agreement has not been concluded.
If you still want to use paid educational services, you can select them from the List offered by the school, which must be agreed upon with the Governing Council (parental committee) of the school.
To organize paid educational services, the Contractor creates appropriate conditions (provides equipped classrooms that meet SanPin requirements, educational and laboratory equipment, qualified personnel). If this has not been created, or you doubt the quality of the service offered, then it is probably not worth signing the contract.
The cost of educational services is also important. According to current legislation, the amount of fees for the provision of educational services is established by agreement of the parties. In this case, the cost of the service includes the Contractor’s costs and his remuneration. The cost of the service must be economically justified. See if it can be lowered.
After concluding the contract, the Contractor it is prohibited to increase the price educational services under the contract in excess of the inflation rate provided for by the main characteristics of the federal budget for the next financial year and planning period.
And here reduce cost paid educational services under the contract, the Contractor may. For example, for those who study well, for orphans, for children from large or low-income families. In this case, the difference can be covered by own funds Contractor, including funds received from income-generating activities, voluntary donations and targeted contributions individuals and (or) legal entities.
The organization of paid educational services must be regulated by the school’s regulatory documents, and you must familiarize yourself with them. This is the curriculum learning programs, list of textbooks, schedule (schedule) of paid educational services, staffing (personnel composition); local acts: Regulations on the provision of paid educational services, Job description, Agreement on the provision of paid educational services, Procedure for pricing and payment for the provision of paid educational services, etc.
All information about the provision of paid educational services should be posted on information stand and school website. In this case, this information and the information provided at the conclusion of the contract must be the same.
In addition to the legislation on education, the organization of paid educational services is subject to federal laws: No. 83-FZ, “On non-profit organizations", "On the protection of consumer rights", Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Therefore, unlawful actions or inactions of the Contractor can be appealed to educational authorities, prosecutors, the consumer rights protection society, and in court.
