In St. Petersburg, at a government meeting on April 10 decided to increase with the new school year in 2 times pay for the education of children in music, art schools, art schools and schools under the Committee on Culture. Children from large families from paying released just that, given their small numbers, little damage budget department would not.

As explained “NI” Head of Department of Education Committee on additional Hope Zubrilova education, in government agencies under the Committee on Education (and this palaces and the homes of children’s art) classes remain free. In the public schools of arts, music and art schools and schools under the Committee on Culture (about 50 thereof) yesterday to pay for the training day was very symbolic, from 50 to 120 rubles per month (a maximum of 250 rubles). But now, with a specialization in teaching piano, for example, will cost between 300 and 500 rubles, with a specialization in Wind and percussion instruments “- from 150 to 250 rubles, the folklore department fee will rise to 100-200 rubles per month.

As explained chairman of the Committee on Culture People’s Artist of Russia H ikolay Burov, it is because the budgetary costs of the educational institutions between 2001 and 2006 grew up in 3,7 times. According Burov, interviews with managers of educational institutions showed that the increased fees would not be sudden and excessive. In addition to a full exemption from payment of students from large families, to address the leaders of art schools fees will be exempted also particularly gifted children.

Initiative raise pay for education in the arts and music schools came, as it turned out, “bottom” from the directors of these schools. Director music school named NA Tchaikovsky (one of the most famous and oldest music schools in St. Petersburg), Tatiana Orlova told “NI” that this long overdue. “At the last meeting with Valentine Matvienko again, we have said that low payment for the services of our experts is the lack of respect for teachers,” explains Tatiana Orlova. – This does not disturb parents, I assure you I am. Parents nullity because of the amount of 120 rubles, often forget to make money to the cashier, forgotten payments, and we just have to “extract” from their debts. ” Director of Music School is convinced that increasing the pay for the training to be more disciplined will force both parents and their children. “Those who is ill and otlynivaet we grozimsya translated into commercial office, where fees were 10 times higher, and they are beginning to try! , “Tatiana Orlova argument.

According to the director, funds for education are not to increase the salaries of teachers and for school repairs, the purchase of tools, and office supplies. Salaries of teachers receive from the budget committee on culture. Today, teachers work city authorities estimate also poor: the rate of the young specialist music school graduates to four-thousand RR, and the rate of teacher with a higher education and high-seniority 8 thousand 27 rubles. Green office, in the words of Tatyana Orlova, help to make ends meet, such as vacation pay teachers. But almost half of the proceeds goes to taxes, so at the expense of the “commerce” schools do not increase their well-being.

“The demand for music schools in St. Petersburg is not decreasing, despite everything,” says Tatiana Orlova. – We have, for example, always great competition, more than 10 people at the scene. ”
