Family education in many of us is associated with certain privileges, accessible only to the elect. Indeed, at the moment, such a form of education is preferred by parents of diplomats and actors. But in fact, the number of children who study the school curriculum at home is much higher. After all, sometimes family education is the only accessible form of education, for example, for children with disabilities or for those who are actively involved in sports, giving training most of the time.
So, how is training in the form of family (home) education. Roughly speaking, this is the study of the general education program at home (or elsewhere, but outside the school). Parents (or special teachers) can choose the necessary training schedule. Home pupils must pass a special certification in the school with which the contract was signed. Results are indicated in the child's diary and in the class journal. And at the end of training, after passing the exam and GIA, graduates receive a certificate of maturity.
How to switch to a family form of education
Parents who decided to give their children home education, you need to collect the following documents:
- An application addressed to the director of the educational institution to which the child is attached. The application should state a request for a family form of education. The letter is made in free form, but you must specify the reason for the transfer.
- Agreement on family education. In this Agreement (a sample can be downloaded on the Internet) all the provisions between the parents of the student and the educational institution are prescribed: the rights and duties of the educational institution, the rights and duties of the legal representative, as well as the procedure for terminating the Agreement and its validity. It is in the Treaty that nuances of intermediate certification are prescribed. The document (3 original + copy) is provided to the district education department for registration.
After consideration of the application and the Agreement, an order is issued, which indicates the reasons for the transfer to the family form of education, as well as educational programs and forms of intermediate certification.
Financial support for family education
Parents who have chosen a family form of education are entitled to compensation in the form of money equivalent to the cost of the education of one child in a public educational institution. This amount is determined by the city budget funding standards.
In addition, according to the Contract, parents are covered by the cost of textbooks, manuals and supplies, based on the calculation of funds allocated in the current fiscal year per student. Additional costs are not reimbursed. Payments are terminated in the following cases:
- changing of the living place;
- transition to a traditional education system;
- deprivation of parental rights ;
- recognition of the parent as legally incompetent.
Problems of family education
Deciding on the transition to a family form of education, parents often face the problem that, despite all laws, many schools refuse to enter into contracts. In this case, you can request a denial in writing, and then provide it to the education department. According to the law, the school must provide you with the opportunity of family education. However, not every institution can provide technical and consulting support. Therefore, parents should approach the choice of institution with great responsibility.
