Personalized Financing of Additional Education of Children

Expected result corresponds to the goals of the federal project Success of Every Child of the national project Education -

by 2024, to provide quality and accessible additional education to 80 percent of children between the ages of five and 18.

Best regional practices in the implementation of the Methodological Complex:

Belgorod Region

Establishment of a unified denomination of the certificate on the territory of the Russian Federation entity

In the course of implementing the model of personalized financing, the Department of Education of the Belgorod Region set the task of calculating the possibility of establishing a uniform denomination of certificates of personalized financing in the region.

For the purposes of calculation, the main organizational and economic parameters of additional training for children in each municipality were determined:

 — the amount of financial support for additional training;

— average funding per child age 5-18 per year.

 municipality;

 — total costs of general enrichment programs in the municipality;

 — current standards of costs for the implementation of additional training programs.

It was concluded that the denomination of RUB 10.0 thousand is the most appropriate and requires hardly any additional funding.

Analysis has shown that when establishing a unified denomination of the certificate actual financial deviations do not exceed 20%, which is an acceptable value and allows you to establish a unified denomination of the certificate without the risk of both underfunding of additional training, and without the risk of insufficient coverage of educational services by the certificate’s denomination.

Republic of Altai, Moscow Region

Individual training (coaching) for municipal teams on the implementation of personalized financing

In most cases, the implementation of the personified funding model encounters problems of lack of project management, interagency cooperation, and lack of understanding on the part of municipal working groups of both the main stages of implementation and the most beneficial solutions

In this situation, a number of constituent entities of the Russian Federation decided to provide individual training (coaching) to municipal teams responsible for the implementation of personalized financing.

In the Moscow Region

Municipal working groups were invited all together (deputy head of municipal administration on social issues, head of education department, head of culture department, head of sports department, deputy head of finance department, head of municipal support center, directors of basic educational organizations — total of 10-20 people) to the Ministry of Education of the Moscow Region for individual training in the amount of 1.5-2 hours.

During the training, all the problematic issues concerning the implementation of the personalized financing model in the municipality were discussed along with the search for organizational, managerial, financial and economic solutions.

In the Republic of Altai

Visits to every municipality to conduct training and answer questions that have arisen.

The solution was more efficient, considering the territorial remoteness of municipalities and the serious differences in the system of additional training in different municipalities

The format of the training — a working day (during the training, other issues of implementation of the target model for additional training of children were also discussed).

Members of the federal expert group on the implementation of personalized financing supported the training remotely, joining via telephone or Skype.

The positive effect in the implementation of personalized financing was noted for about a month after the training. After that, the training format had to be repeated in order to deepen the understanding of the next steps on the roadmap for the implementation of personalized financing.

Chuvash Republic, Republic of Altai, Republic of Adygeya

Participation of all municipalities in the implementation of the personalized financing model

The main difficulty in achieving the target indicators is to increase the target coverage for the «pilot» municipalities to 28-45% of children in the case when 50-60% of municipalities participate in the implementation of the personalized financing model.

The solution to the problem was found in the participation of all municipalities of the RF entity in the implementation of the personalized financing model.

In theRepublic of Adygeya — at the very beginning of implementation,

In theRepublic of Altai — in the course of implementation

In the Chuvash Republic— the roadmap measures were implemented by all municipalities from the very beginning, while the decision on the list of «pilot» municipalities was made only in July 2019, after analyzing both the results of the implementation of the measures and the target indicators of coverage.

The results of the implementation of the practice under consideration are:

achieving the target indicators of coverage of children with personalized financing;

expanding opportunities for children to pay with a certificate for an educational program implemented in any municipality (especially relevant in the case of living on the border of municipalities and when implementing educational programs in distance and part-time forms);

smoothing the principles of financial support for additional training in the territory of the RF constituent entities
