State Duma deputies are preparing to consider a bill that provides for annual payments for students by the beginning of the school year. If the document is adopted, on the eve of September 1, parents of children from 6 to 18 years old will receive 21,800 rubles each.

The deputies propose to pay money not only to families with schoolchildren, but also to parents of students in secondary specialized or higher educational institutions with full-time education.

According to the co-author of the initiative, the first deputy head of the State Duma Committee on Education, Yana Lantratova, a payment of 34,600 rubles is offered for low-income families, and 23,200 rubles for low-income students.
