Senator Liliya Gumerova spoke about the initiative in the press center of Parliamentary Newspaper
Russian legislation concerning children, needs further improvement, the first deputy chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Science, Education and Culture is sure. The senator spoke about the upcoming changes on round table in the press center of the "Parliamentary newspaper".
Funding for the construction of new schools needs to be increased
One of the most important "children's issues" that are in the field of view of the Chamber of Regions is the program for the construction of new schools.
15 million schoolchildren studying today in educational institutions Russia.
“Today, 15 million schoolchildren study in general educational institutions, of which 1.8 million study in the second shift, about 80 thousand in the third. At the same time, we have 4.5 thousand - these are wooden schools, and in 7860 educational institutions a major overhaul is required, - reminded Lilia Gumerova. And the number of students continues to grow. Based on these figures, according to our calculations, 25 billion rubles a year allocated to the program is not enough. We are actively taking the initiative to allocate an additional 10.2 billion rubles for this program.”
Members of the Committee of the Chamber of Regions on Science, Education and Culture have experience in such matters, recalled Lilia Gumerova: “When the program for creating places in kindergartens was being implemented, it was our committee that sounded the alarm that at some stage the necessary funds were not allocated to the subjects, We were supported by the Chairman of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko, and as a result, the money was brought to the regions.”
Nevertheless, this time it will not be easy to achieve an immediate increase in project funding, the parliamentarian admitted.“We have a tight budget, we understand that,” she said. - Therefore, our committee came up with an initiative to extend the program for the construction of new schools until 2030 (currently it is calculated until 2025. - Ed.). But not at the expense of funding. That is, this does not mean that the money already included in the program can be stretched for large quantity years".
The senators are also ready to support some of the proposals of the subjects of the Federation regarding the conditions for participation in the program.
“One of these proposals concerns schools in countryside, - explained Lilia Gumerova. - For example, today the conditions of the program do not allow using money from the federal budget for the construction of the complex " kindergarten- Primary School". This is now recorded as misappropriation of funds.”
Children's camps will write new rules
The law on children's recreation, developed by them, has not disappeared from the agenda of the senators, which allowed all camps in Russia to start working according to the new rules this year.
“However, problematic points that will need to be adjusted, including with the help of legislation, remain in this area,” Lilia Gumerova admitted. - First of all, we lack the variability of children's recreation. The rules for the operation of all types of camps - suburban, round-the-clock, day stay. A clear regulatory framework is needed for each category of such institutions.”
There is a lot of discussion about the idea that the program " Accessible environment”included the issues of summer recreation.
At the same time, the standards and requirements put forward to the camps should be the same, the parliamentarian added.
“When each municipality or region puts forward its own requirements for children's camps, this is wrong,” the senator said.
According to Lilia Gumerova, the availability of children's recreation remains an equally pressing problem.
“One of the main questions here is where to relax for children with handicapped health,” she explained. “Not all of our camps can accept such students.”
As the legislator noted, the Federation Council is aware that it will not be possible to reformat all camps in the country for the convenience of children with disabilities in the near future.
“But in each subject it would be logical to create at least a number of institutions where such guys could have a rest,” said Lilia Gumerova. “In this regard, the society is actively discussing the idea that the Accessible Environment program should also include the issues of summer recreation”.
The Federation Council also considers the creation of a unified federal register of health-improving institutions to be logical.
“Getting into this register would be a guarantee that a high-quality, interesting and safe vacation is organized in the camp,” the senator explained. - Now such registers are filled in each subject of the Federation, but this is not entirely correct. When choosing a camp for their child, parents do not have to look through a huge amount of resources. They need to be able to log into the federal registry portal and get all the information they need there - quickly and in one place."
Spring session - intense and fruitful
Summing up the results of the spring session, Lilia Gumerova called it "very tense and quite fruitful."
“About 300 laws were approved during 15 meetings. Moreover, the legislative activity of the senators themselves has noticeably increased - the chairman of the Federation Council, Valentina Matvienko, also spoke about this, - said a member of the upper house. “About 80 bills were submitted to the State Duma, where we are the authors and co-authors, of which 19 became laws.”
One of the important priorities in the work of the Chamber of Regions, according to the parliamentarian, was the protection of the interests of the subjects of the Federation.
“A lot has been done in terms of rule-making in this direction,” she explained. - For example, it is on the initiative of the upper chamber that monitoring of the powers of the subjects of the Federation and their financial security is being carried out today. Based on the results of this monitoring, we will come up with solutions that will significantly improve the situation of the subjects. The fact is that at present the regions are very worried that they have a lot of powers, but there is not enough financial support.”
As Liliya Gumerova noted, a lot has been done to ensure that the legal framework that allows the subjects to reduce the share of commercial loans and increase the share of budget.
“I would also like to highlight the law on foundlings developed in the Federation Council, according to which children whose parents are unknown will receive a social pension similar to that received by other orphans on the occasion of the loss of a breadwinner,” the senator said.
"An important and sought-after time," the parliamentarian recognized a package that toughens responsibility for inciting children to commit suicide.
To improve the quality and accessibility of education, as well as the comfort and safety of schoolchildren in 2016, within the framework of the Education Development project, Government program"School-2025".
