This year schoolchildren were less expensive for their parents than in the previous year. As the survey data show this year, schoolchildren were less expensive pleasure for their parents than in the previous. As evidenced by the survey data of the All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion (VCIOM), on average, to assemble the child by September 1, 2017. Costs 12 thousand. 745 rub. In 2016 year. The student managed in 14 thousand. 810 rub. Photo: Viktor Pogontsev / Global Look The strongest thing was to save on buying textbooks. If last year it was required to pay 1,908 rubles. , Then this is only 1197 rubles. On the portfolios, too, the majority decided not to go broke and chose a simpler model, rubles for 1785 instead of last year for 2153 rubles. A little less spent now and on the clerical - 1773 rubles. Against 1968 rubles. In 2016.

But on the shoes and clothes, we could not save. On the form and the shift, on average, 6442 rubles. , Although a year ago the same set was worth 500 rubles cheaper.

Gifts to teachers and holiday bouquets too this year were more budgetary. Now on this expense item, parents are ready to deduct less than 600 rubles. , And not nearly 1000, as in the past.

But most importantly, sociologists note, this is a reduction in school fees, including in the form of "voluntary" sponsorship fees. If last year the administration had to pay more than 1200 rubles.

Per child, the parents hope to get by with a small amount of blood in the amount of 650 rubles. Given that this is the average data for the country, we can say that some of the Russian schools have finally caught the signal of the authorities and stopped shifting to the shoulders of their parents the costs that the regional budgets.

However, these reduced costs for many Russian families are too high. In particular, on the eve of September 1 there was a surge in issuing loans by microfinance organizations.
