Free meals at school

On the initiative of V.V. Putin, from September 1, 2020, primary school students will be provided with free hot lunches. The innovation should be implemented in schools where there are canteens. Those educational institutions where there are no appropriate conditions were given a deadline to equip premises until 2023. The project will be financed from the state budget.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, in his address to the Federal Assembly on January 15, 2020, made a proposal to provide all primary school students with hot meals. The deadlines are “floating”; only those schools that have the technical capability will begin feeding students from grades 1 to 4 free of charge from September 1 of this year.

What is the essence of the changes

The whole essence of the bill is to improve the existing nutrition system in schools, as well as to strengthen care for the younger generation, their health, physical and mental development.

“When a child goes to school, parents, especially mothers, have more opportunities to go to work. But new expenses are coming. I propose to provide free hot meals to all primary school students from grades 1 to 4.”

Vladimir Putin

The initiative was taken by the leaders of all parliamentary factions, including Valentina Matvienko and Vyacheslav Volodin. The Government has already approved the document, adding comments and a number of amendments. After the adoption of the bill, changes will be made to two Federal Laws “On Education in the Russian Federation” and “On the Quality and Safety of Food Products”.

Free meals for junior classes, an increase in government-funded places in universities, capital for the birth of the first child, the government led by Medvedev resigns. Am I really in Russia? What kind of shocking content is this? ????

To help parents - September 1st capital

Terms and conditions of execution

Specific dates for the implementation of the bill have been announced. This is September 1, 2020 for schools with equipped canteens. That is, where there is a technical possibility for:

• cooking hot food;
• storage and receipt of products;
• distribution of prepared food;
• washing used dishes;
• designing a room (dining room) where the student can eat in peace.

The project implementation period has been extended until September 1, 2023 for those schools where there are no special premises that meet sanitary and hygienic requirements for food provision. They need to equip canteens or buffets and establish a supply system with quality products.

“Work on the draft law is almost completed”

Alena Arshinova, member of the State Duma Committee on Education

A bill has now been passed in its first reading, according to which parents have the right to find out full information about the menu. It should be posted on the website of the educational institution.

Who will get the opportunity to eat for free?

The main condition for providing hot food will be the student’s actual stay in primary school, that is, from grades 1 to 4 inclusive.

There will be no gradations based on parental income; children from families with any financial support are required to be fed free of charge. The President of the Russian Federation especially emphasized this.

“Colleagues say that this is not very fair, that people with decent incomes and low incomes will receive the same support from the state, there is logic in this - it’s true.

But there is a logic characteristic of our society.

Everyone should feel themselves in equal conditions: children and parents, who are often humiliated by the current situation, should not feel that they cannot even feed a child.”

The bill spells out the features of organizing safe, high-quality food. A definition of “healthy food” has been given, which means that ingredients containing vegetable fats, palm oil, “e-shki”, and GMOs will be excluded from the menu. A decision has been made to remove vending machines selling cans of carbonated drinks from schools.

General requirements for catering:

1. Compliance with calorie consumption standards and types of food products.
2. Portions must be no less than the permissible weight.
3. Compliance with SanPiN requirements for baby food.
4. One hot dish is required, not counting a drink.

“School meals should not only be free and hot, but tasty, because children will not eat tasteless food. The goal will not be achieved if lunch later ends up in a waste barrel. An important stage of work in this direction is the creation of expressed direct control of the parent community over what happens in the cafeteria.”

Vladimir Chernigov, head of the independent non-profit organization Institute of Industrial Nutrition

The bill does not stipulate the conditions for the purchase of products and their preparation for students with various types of allergies. This problem remains the responsibility of parents, who must warn in advance which ingredients the child may have an atypical reaction to.

“At the same time, parents will have the right to inform the educational institution about the child’s health status in order to prevent possible harm to his health when organizing meals.”

School meals should be organized taking into account the creation of conditions for the normal growth and development of children, their active life, health promotion and disease prevention.

There is a problem: Some eat normally only at school.(((In the early 2000s, conscripts came who saw three meals a day only in the army(((

Who will pay for everything

Parents will not pay anything for hot lunches for students from grades 1 to 4.

Funds will be allocated from the following budgets:

• federal;
• regional;
• local.

All subjects of the Russian Federation, as the main sources of support, will be able to receive subsidies from the federal budget. A system of co-financing costs is being introduced when documents on actual costs are provided.

Primary school children will receive free hot meals

All children in primary school will receive free hot and healthy meals. In those regions and schools where there is technical readiness, it should be provided starting September 1, 2020.

And no later than September 1, 2023, primary schoolchildren throughout the country should be provided with free meals. According to the Ministry of Education, today 4 million students in grades 1-4 receive a hot breakfast or lunch.

The State Duma Committee will consider amendments to the bill on school meals

Many regions subsidize meals for schoolchildren. But there is no single logic. For example, Moscow, Chukotka, and the Komi Republic have found means to feed absolutely the entire population for free.

In St. Petersburg, Sakhalin, Tyumen, Tver region and some others, parents pay half for lunches. However, the situation is basically different: only beneficiaries - disabled children, from low-income and large families - eat for free at school.

And even for them sometimes there is barely enough money.

Vladimir Chernigov, President of the Institute of Industrial Nutrition:

— How much does a school lunch or breakfast cost in different regions today? According to our data, in the Ivanovo region, breakfast per child costs on average 35 rubles, lunch - 46.8 rubles.

In the Chuvash Republic the price of breakfast is 17.0 rubles, lunch is 35.4 rubles. In Kamchatka, breakfast in elementary school is on average 59 rubles, lunch - 108. In Karachay-Cherkessia, breakfast is 12-25 rubles, lunch - 45-55.

In St. Petersburg, children have breakfast at school for 59 rubles, lunch for 102.

For many this is a significant amount. However, the regions will not be able to cope without the support of the federal budget. According to our calculations, a minimum of 37 billion rubles will be needed if funds are allocated only for the purchase of products.

And this is all without taking into account donor regions.

Free hot meals for primary schools will also feed farmers

Yulia Solovyova, vice-president of the Union “Professionals in the field of educational innovations”:

- I have three children. The eldest son has already graduated from school, the middle daughter is in fifth grade, and the youngest is in first grade. Everyone ate and still eats in the school canteen. Whatever they like, they gobble it up instantly. But not all.

The main thing, in my opinion, is that the food is always of high quality and varied, so that it does not remain on the plates. It's great that at the beginning all the kids will now be on equal terms.

Because I know many examples when beneficiaries and children for whom their parents pay had completely different tables. Some, for example, have porridge, others have a full lunch. There is one more nuance. In some regions, even children from large families do not receive free meals.

They definitely need to prove their low income. And sometimes such a certificate can be received by a family that does not really need support. And those who really need it will be left with nothing.

A bill on high-quality hot meals for children in schools has been adopted

At a plenary meeting, the State Duma adopted amendments to the laws “On the quality and safety of food products” and “On education in the Russian Federation” in terms of improving the legal regulation of issues of ensuring the quality of food products. It was introduced by the Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin, the Chairman of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko and the leaders of all factions of the State Duma.

The bill introduces the concept of “healthy nutrition”,
enshrines its principles, features of organizing high-quality, safe and healthy nutrition for children and certain groups of the population.

In addition, the document prohibits the use of raw materials made with feed additives, growth stimulants, GMOs, pesticides, agrochemicals and other substances hazardous to health in the production of baby food products.

“The adoption of the bill will make it possible to provide a balanced diet
for primary school students, including hot meals,” the explanatory note says.

“For the purpose of providing students with one-time hot meals in conditions of a possible budget deficit, it is proposed to provide for the possibility of providing
subsidies from the federal budget to the budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation,” the document also clarifies.

“By the provisions of the bill, we clearly define the obligation to provide schoolchildren with hot meals. The health of children is a priority for both parents and the state. We must provide schoolchildren with healthy and varied nutrition,” Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin said earlier.

In addition, parents will be able to control the children's menu: for this purpose, such information is required to be posted on the websites of educational institutions.

“At the same time, parents will have the right to inform the educational institution about the state of the child’s health in order to prevent possible harm to his health when organizing meals,” explained the co-author of the bill, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Irina Yarovaya.

Let us recall that yesterday, as part of the consideration in the first reading of the draft federal budget for 2020–2022, the Chairman of the State Duma raised the issue of budgetary provision of the bill on hot meals for primary schoolchildren. The costs for its implementation have not yet been provided for in the expenditure portion of the draft three-year budget.

“We are talking about the adoption of a bill on compulsory hot children's meals in elementary grades. 20 billion rubles are the costs of implementing this law,” he said and turned to the First Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation - Minister of Finance Anton Siluanov with a request to take this point into account when working on the draft federal budget for the second reading.

Free meals for schoolchildren in the Chelyabinsk region will be introduced from September 1

For school breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack, parents have to pay an average of 150 rubles a day

Lyudmila Kovaleva

Today, January 15, President Vladimir Putin ordered the organization of free hot meals in primary schools. Now in Chelyabinsk schools the average cost of lunch is 60–70 rubles. The head of state asked to implement the initiative by 2023, and if possible by September 1 of this year. The Ministry of Education of the Chelyabinsk Region stated that all conditions for this are in place.

— The task has been outlined to organize free meals in primary schools, and from September 1 it will be implemented throughout the country in a pilot mode from federal, regional and local budgets.

Our program for free milk for primary schools is precisely aimed at solving the problems outlined by the president in his message.

 We are talking about a special standard “School milk”, which will be fortified and supplied to school canteens,” commented the head of the region, Alexey Teksler.

According to the Ministry of Education, the idea of ​​free hot meals in schools has been considered, but so far students can only be offered milk or snacks.

— At the moment, there are no free meals in schools in the Chelyabinsk region. It is organized in some areas in certain educational organizations.

These lunches or breakfasts do not always represent a complete meal; rather, they are more close to the concept of a “snack”.

Nevertheless, even a bun with juice, compote or a fortified drink can well support the strength of a child and his growing body, the Ministry of Education noted.

— Now expenditure items on school meals will be supported by federal funds. First of all, this will help change the situation with “different tables” for beneficiaries and those who purchase lunch with their own money.

The Ministry of Education aims to organize school meals this year, which will be a full-fledged set lunch or breakfast for all children of primary school age, the Ministry of Education emphasized.

As reported by the Chelyabinsk Education Committee, schools themselves decide who to entrust with catering.

— Educational institutions independently decide on choosing a counterparty. Based on the results of trading procedures, contracts with catering organizers were concluded with 93 educational organizations in Chelyabinsk, 22 schools organize catering on their own, the committee provided data.

We were shown such a lunch for 70 rubles in the school canteen

Lyudmila Kovaleva

The main organizer in Chelyabinsk is JSC Ural Social Catering Plant. According to Deputy Director Tatyana Palady, the whole question is how much hot meals will be provided:

— Now the average cost of a full lunch is 60–65 rubles, somewhere around 70 rubles. There are four categories of children who receive food subsidies in the amount of 12 rubles, 5 rubles 50 kopecks, 30 rubles and 84 rubles.

There is no 100% free food. If you take city and regional subsidies, you get 17 rubles 50 kopecks, what can you provide for this amount? Considering that we add high-quality milk and butter to the same porridge.

And this lunch, at our request, was photographed by a schoolboy

reader 74.RU

According to Tatyana Palady, free lunches in schools will help solve the problem of social inequality and instill a culture of nutrition.

— Of course, now children and parents are asking why at the same table some people are given pasta with sausage, and others just pasta.

There are families who cannot afford to pay for food or who voluntarily refuse. We are faced with the fact that children are not accustomed to eating properly, do not eat porridge, and do not like fish.

And organizing meals from the 1st grade will allow them to access healthy products,” Tatyana Palady expressed her opinion.

In 2018, 74.RU walked through school canteens and tasted what they fed students. We visited places where food is provided by the plant, and educational institutions that purchase food and cook it themselves.

And last year we asked the schoolchildren to photograph their food. Let's say right away: looking at the dishes, we lost our appetite.

Law on free school meals 2020-2020

The legal topic is very complex, but in this article we will try to answer the question “Law on free school meals 2020-2020.” Of course, if you still have questions, you can consult with lawyers online for free directly on the website.

The child is not registered with the social security authorities of the city of Moscow (answer “No”) - the right to the benefit is confirmed by the Governing Council of the educational organization (benefit “Other”) upon a personal application from the student’s representative. The decision to provide the service takes up to 15 working days.

1. Reduced meals are provided to students if they have the right to a preferential category, which is confirmed automatically in the process of interdepartmental interaction of five information systems: mos.ru portal, AIS “NSI and Registers”, IS “Passage and Nutrition” (IS PP), AIS “Enrollment” in OU", DTiSZN. 2.

The initiator of the assignment of the benefit is the legal representative of the student, filling out an application on the mos.ru portal as part of the service “Submission of an application for the provision of meals at the expense of the Moscow city budget.”

When filling out the electronic form, the legal representative chooses one of two answer options to the question of whether his child is registered with the social security authorities of the city of Moscow:

Option 2

If the application is submitted under Option 2, an employee of the educational organization responsible for working with the preferential meal plan takes part in the processing: the applicant must submit the documents to LIT.

One of these benefits is free meals at school, for which you must belong to a certain category specified in legislative acts, as well as provide the required list of documentation.

Reduced meals for school students

Preferential meals at school consist of providing the student with fully or partially free food at the expense of subsidies allocated by the state. The principle of receiving benefits may differ significantly depending on membership in a particular category, and consist of the following:

What is free food?

In some cases, it is possible to submit documentation already in the current academic year with the right to use the benefit in the next calendar month. Such cases may be the transfer of a child to another educational institution or the emergence of grounds for receiving benefits already during the school year.

In general, every educational institution should have special stands with information and a list of documentation required to apply for food benefits. You can also ask the class teacher the corresponding question. In short, before applying, you should further clarify the list of documents, because it may vary depending on the school.

1. Two meals a day - free breakfast and lunch. This is the option that is usually used in schools. Moreover, it is possible that only one of the meals, for example, breakfast, will be free, but lunch will already be paid. True, there may be a 50% discount on it. In some regions this option is used quite successfully.
2. Three meals a day. This includes the standard - breakfast, afternoon tea, lunch.
3. Five times a day. Includes breakfast, optional breakfast, dinner, afternoon tea and lunch.

Available meal plans

A program to provide students with free meals is being developed at the regional level. Similar rules apply to the approval of the list of beneficiaries. In short, there is no unified system of federal order in this case. The authorities of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation have the right to establish their own requirements and conditions for the use of such rights.

— Students from families with at least three minor children. As soon as one of the children turns 18, the family loses benefits, with the exception of the eldest child entering a higher educational institution. - Children whose one parent is dead or deceased. — Children growing up in a single-parent family.

— Children from low-income families: such a family must have a confirmed low-income family status, this is done on the basis of income certificates. — Orphans, adopted children. — Children with disabilities and limited capabilities. — Schoolchildren whose parents have I-II disability groups. — Pupils of correctional schools.

— Children whose parents worked at the Chernobyl accident.

— Children from families affected by the Chernobyl accident.

Some categories of schoolchildren have the right to eat at their place of study for free, at the expense of the budget. In Russia there is no single approved list of preferential categories; in each region they are determined separately, because payment for meals for such students comes from the regional budget.

Who can receive such benefits

To best assimilate new knowledge and maintain good health, a child at school must have time to rest and hot meals, which contain everything necessary for a rapidly growing body.

Exactly what benefits for school meals are available at school can be found out not only from the class teacher, but also from the social security authorities at your place of residence. In Russian schools, two types of preferential meals are practiced:

Who is eligible for free school meals in 2020-2020?

In order for a child to be provided with free meals at school, his parents will have to contact the local social security authority with an application and a number of documents. After considering the circumstances, representatives of the government agency will agree or refuse to provide the benefit.

Meals in schools for children from large families

It is worth understanding that each subject of the Russian Federation has the right to independently assign the status of a large family to a family, taking into account cultural and national characteristics. But most regions recognize a large family with three children . In this case, the age of the first child should not exceed 18 years of age (or 23 years of age if studying at a university or serving in the Russian army).

This is interesting: Sample DDU 2020, what the developer is obliged to do

Children who belong to socially vulnerable categories can receive assistance from the state, such as free school meals, discounts, or partial compensation for the cost of meals, which is paid monthly.

To provide this benefit, you must contact the director of the educational institution in question or its secretary, provide a certain package of documents and write an application. During the year, the procedure for applying for food benefits at school has not undergone any changes from the authorities, and therefore remains the same as it was before.

But the legislation does not establish norms for preferential provision for the entire state, therefore each city has its own characteristics of implementing this point.

In some regions, for example Moscow and the Moscow region, benefits for school meals per year look like this: once a day food in the school canteen is provided without payment, and the second time - at a cost equal to half Order of the Moscow Department of Health dated June 11 If parents or guardians do not have the financial ability to pay for school lunches, then the children they are raising have the legal right to receive school meals without payment.

While studying at school, a child needs nutrition; it is a matter of proper brain activity and feeding the body with energy.

Dear readers! The article talks about typical ways to resolve legal issues, but each case is individual. If you want to find out how to solve your particular problem, contact a consultant:.

Each school has a canteen where all classes are served two meals a day, as well as desserts and drinks.

Maternity capital for the first child and hot meals in schools: what Putin said about family and education

The main topic on January 15 was, of course, the resignation of the Russian government after Vladimir Putin’s message to the Federal Assembly. However, during the message itself, the president mentioned several important things about education and upbringing and indicated to officials what needs to be done first in these areas. We have collected these instructions in one text.

Mela newsletter

We send our interesting and very useful newsletter twice a week: on Tuesday and Friday

1. Improve demographics

According to the president, the future of Russia depends on how many children are born into Russian families and what they become when they grow up. Almost 147 million people now live in Russia, but the country has entered a difficult demographic period.

In the mid-2000s, Russia managed to improve its demographics, but now, since families are being created by the small generation of the 90s, the birth rate is falling again.

There is no single solution, Putin believes, but it is necessary to take such steps and adopt such laws that will save and increase the people of Russia.

The current negative forecasts cannot but alarm us. It is our historical responsibility to respond to this challenge. Not only to get out of the historical trap, but also to ensure sustainable natural population growth by the middle of the coming decade. In 2024, the fertility rate should be 1.7.”

2. Create new places in the nursery

Vladimir Putin believes that it is necessary to help young, large or single-parent families, because many difficulties arise on their way. One of them is the placement of a child in a nursery, which the president called the most important and sensitive issue. He appealed to the heads of regions with a request to do everything to resolve this issue, drawing attention to the fact that the previous plan for nurseries was not implemented.

“We have allocated funds from the budget to help the regions create 255 thousand new places in nurseries by the end of the year. However, in 2018–2019, instead of 90 thousand such places, only 78 thousand were created. Of these, 37.5 thousand can actually be provided to children. The rest have not yet received an educational license. This means that such nurseries are not ready to accept children. We need to make up for this gap.”

3. Increase monthly payments to families with children

A direct threat to the demographic future is the low income of a significant part of families, Putin believes. Therefore, additional payments must be provided for each child.

“Starting from January of this year, families whose income does not exceed two subsistence minimums per person will receive payments for their first and second children, not up to one and a half years old, as was previously the case, but up to three.

The amount of payments will depend on the cost of living in a particular region. The national average is more than 11 thousand rubles per child per month.

In 75 constituent entities of the Federation, payments have begun for the third and subsequent children.”

When a child turns three years old, all established payments stop, Putin reminds. This means that the family may have problems with income, and this should not be allowed. Until the child goes to school, it is difficult for mothers to go to work and combine this with child care.

“In this regard, I propose to provide monthly payments for children aged three to seven years inclusive. And already from January 1, 2020, this year. Payments will be received by families whose income does not exceed one subsistence minimum per person. That is, a really difficult, very difficult situation.

To receive such a payment, it will be enough to submit an application and also indicate your legal, official income. Please note that this procedure needs to be made as convenient and simple as possible for citizens. So that they can arrange everything without queues and obstacles. Or remotely, through the appropriate state portal.”

4. Increase maternity capital

In addition, the president recalled that the maternity capital program is in effect until 2021. Putin decided to extend this program until 2026 and offer payments to families whose first child is born.

“Already at the birth of the first child, the family will receive the right to maternity capital in its current volume. After indexation from January 2020, this is 466,617 rubles. This is exactly how much was still due at the birth of a second or subsequent child. Such support will enable the family to prepare for the birth of a second child.

But I believe that in modern conditions this is not enough, taking into account the demographic challenges the country faces, it is not enough. More can and should be done. I propose increasing maternity capital by another 150 thousand rubles. The family will receive the right to these additional funds to maternity capital upon the birth of their second child.

Thus, the total amount of maternity capital for a family with two children will be 616,617 rubles. And in the future it will be indexed annually.”

5. Provide hot meals to all primary school students

Putin noted that from the moment a child starts going to school, parents’ expenses also increase, even though mothers already have the opportunity to go to work. Therefore, all primary school students must be provided with hot meals.

He called the objections of his colleagues that it is unfair that families with different income levels will receive the same support from the state as fair, but still considers such a measure justified. The President called for the issue to be resolved before September 1, 2023.

“In order to organize free hot and, I emphasize, healthy meals, I propose to allocate funds from three sources: federal, regional and local. But the issue is not only about money.

It is necessary to create the necessary infrastructure in schools, equip canteens and buffets, establish a supply system, and, of course, quality products. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that even during the Soviet Union this was not done, as I already said.

No later than September 1, 2023, primary schoolchildren in all regions of the Federation throughout the country must be provided with free high-quality hot meals.”

6. Create high-quality technical conditions in schools

Putin noted that over the past decade the number of schoolchildren has increased by as much as 6 million. In this regard, he called for understanding how many additional places in schools are needed, as well as making changes to the national project “Education”.

“Here we need to look for flexible solutions: not only to build schools, but also to effectively use the entire educational and other infrastructure for these purposes, the capabilities of modern technologies in the interests of educating children.”

Putin also pointed out that everything is fine with the Internet in schools now - almost everyone in the country is connected to it. But this is not enough: schoolchildren should not just have access to the network, but the opportunity to use it to its full potential. Therefore, by 2021, all schools should have high-speed Internet.

“Now almost all schools in Russia are connected to the Internet.

In 2021, they should no longer just have access to the network, but high-speed Internet, which will allow them to fully begin the digital transformation of the domestic school, provide teachers and students with access to advanced educational programs, and introduce individual approaches to learning aimed at revealing the abilities of everyone child."

The President recalls that within the framework of the “Culture” national project, 8 billion rubles were allocated for equipment and musical instruments for children’s art schools. He asked to ensure that the premises for such classes were put in order.

“Now more than a thousand premises where such educational institutions are located are dilapidated or simply unsuitable for classes. I ask the government to help the regions put them in order. And I ask the regions not to forget that this is your responsibility.”

7. Increase salaries for class teachers

The class teacher becomes an important person in the dialogue between the child and the school, says the president. He considers it necessary to introduce additional wages for them.

“Such constant everyday work related to teaching and raising children is a huge responsibility, and it, of course, requires special training of mentors and their special support. In this regard, I consider it necessary, starting September 1, to introduce a special additional payment to class teachers in the amount of at least five thousand rubles from the federal budget.

There is also a lot of controversy here: this is the responsibility of the regions, those present in the room understand this well. But what is a class teacher anyway? This is a teacher, and this is still a federal function.

But, it goes without saying, I want to draw your attention to this: all existing regional payments for class management must be preserved, dear colleagues, I draw your attention to this. And I’ll definitely see what happens in practice, in life.”

8. Increase the number of budget places in universities

Putin recalled that in the coming years the number of school graduates will grow. In this regard, he proposed increasing the number of budget places in universities, especially in regional ones.

“It is important for us to maintain equal, fair access to free full-time higher education. In this regard, I propose to annually increase the number of budget places in universities, and (and what I will say next is extremely important) give priority to these places to regional universities, precisely to those territories where today there are not enough doctors, teachers, engineers .

Naturally, it is necessary not only to increase enrollment numbers, but to seriously engage, with the participation of business and employers, in the development of universities and higher education institutions in the regions, including strengthening their educational, research and social infrastructure, a system of continuous training and advanced training for teachers of regional universities, so that students can receive modern knowledge, start a successful career in your small homeland.”

9. Resolve the situation with the supply of unregistered drugs

The President mentioned that he is aware of the situation with vital drugs that are not registered in Russia. He said that such situations should not be repeated again and asked the government to improve the supply of medicines.

“I know that last year in a number of regions there were interruptions in the supply of medicines, because purchases were actually disrupted, and some officials allowed themselves to talk as if they were talking about the purchase of stationery: it doesn’t matter, we’ll announce new competitions. But people were left without extremely important, sometimes life-saving medications. Please note that such situations should never happen again.

This year, a single end-to-end register of recipients of drugs that are provided to a person for free or at a large discount under a federal or regional benefit should be launched, so that there is no more confusion here.

“I ask the government to debug this work as soon as possible so that people, especially parents of sick children, no longer find themselves in a hopeless situation when the necessary medicines cannot be legally obtained.”

10. Change the procedure for admission to medical universities

One of the main issues in healthcare is to ensure an influx of personnel, Putin says. To do this, in his opinion, several changes need to be made to the procedure for admission to medical universities. For example, in the specialty “medicine”, 70% of budget places should be targeted, and in residency in the most scarce areas, the president proposed establishing almost one hundred percent targeted training.

“The issue of training and attracting personnel is key for healthcare. By 2024, all levels should be provided with specialists, and primary care should be a priority. In this regard, I propose to significantly change the procedure for admission to universities in medical specialties in the new academic year.

In the specialty “general medicine” - 70% of budget places will be targeted, in the specialty “pediatrics” - 75%. Quotas for targeted admission will be formed based on applications from regions of the Russian Federation.

But they, in turn, must provide a guarantee of employment to future graduates, so that specialists come to work exactly where people are waiting for their help.

As for residency training, I propose establishing almost one hundred percent targeted training in the most deficient areas. Moreover, upon admission, doctors with experience in primary care, especially in rural areas, will have an advantage. Naturally, targeted training should also be provided for federal medical centers.”

Features of the state program: benefits for school meals in 2020

Children who belong to socially vulnerable categories can receive assistance from the state, such as free school meals, discounts, or partial compensation for the cost of meals, which is paid monthly. To provide this benefit, you must contact the director of the educational institution in question or its secretary, provide a certain package of documents and write an application. In 2020, the procedure for applying for meal benefits at school has not undergone any changes from the authorities, and therefore remains the same as it was before.

Legislative regulation of the issue

Meals in educational institutions, including child benefits for meals at school, are provided for by the Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation” dated December 29, 2012 N 273-FZ (latest edition). According to it, general education schools must provide students with nutritious basic meals - breakfasts and lunches - during their studies. For certain categories, meals may be free or at a reduced price. But the legislation does not establish norms for preferential provision for the entire state, therefore each city has its own characteristics of implementing this point.

In some regions, for example Moscow and the Moscow region, benefits for school meals in 2020 look like this: once a day food in the school canteen is provided free of charge, and the second time - at a cost equal to half (Order of the Moscow Department of Health dated 11 June 2014

The following amounts are indicated: breakfast - 56 rubles, lunch - 98, set lunch - 154 rubles.

Who is eligible for free school meals in 2020?

• free school meals for children from large families;
• schoolchildren from low-income families whose incomes are below the norm;
• children with the status of “orphan” who have lost their mother and father and are under guardianship or guardianship;
• children of parents with disabilities (first or second group of disabled people);
• and also compensation for meals at school is provided to disabled children.

Let us note that the diet of beneficiaries is no different from the diet for children from ordinary families.

Reduced meal options. What are they and what do they depend on?

Benefits for school meals in 2020 are provided in different options, which depend on local legislation. Food at school can be either completely free or at a reduced price.

Children from large and low-income families, as well as children of disabled parents, receive one meal for free, and the second with a 50% discount. But orphans who are wards of guardians have the right to full provision.

Moreover, children from orphanages do not need to formalize this opportunity themselves by submitting an application. This responsibility falls on the shoulders of the management of the institutions themselves.

How to apply for free meals at school in 2020

Compensation for meals at school 2020 occurs as follows: you, as a person in need of government assistance, should collect all documents that prove the need for partial or full payment for breakfasts and lunches, and also serve as proof of your identity and the identities of your children. And in addition to this, write an Application for free meals at school to the school principal. After which, according to the conditions in your region, the educational institution undertakes to provide the student with the opportunity to eat meals on a preferential basis.

Where to go

A complete list of documents that will be required to provide free lunches can be found on the website of the local city administration or at the educational institution itself. As already noted, each region of the Russian Federation has its own characteristics of the implementation of this legislative act.

How to write an application correctly

There is no universal sample for drawing up an Application for free meals at school, but the requirements for it are similar everywhere and include the data of children and parents, and you must also indicate the reason for your application, that is, on what basis the student should be provided with free breakfast and lunch.

This must be evidenced by official documents confirming membership in one of the categories of socially vulnerable citizens. Based on them, as well as the Application for free meals at school, which you fill out at the educational institution itself, you will be able to qualify for assistance from the state.

Required certificates and documents

Benefits for feeding a child at school are provided according to the following documents, which are mandatory in all regions:

• information about parents (copies of passports) and children (copies of birth certificates);
• income certificates if the family is low-income;
• medical certificate of health in cases where the parents or child are disabled of group 1 or group 2.

At the same time, in some cities of Russia, those who have benefits for free meals at school need to expand the package of documents at the request of the school, because at the legislative level there is no clear procedure for registering this type of benefit for a low-income family.
