Putin Approves New Education Law -Monday Dec 31,2012


Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday Dec 31,2012 signed new legislation prescribing norms for all levels of education and setting new rules for teachers' salaries and school fees.

The new legislation brings about a number of changes for teachers, stipulating that the minimum salary for teachers will now be directly tied to the economy of the region where they work, with the salary required to be at least the average for that region.

The law makes a course on the fundamentals of religion mandatory in all schools.

The law stipulates that kindergarten costs will be independently determined by each separate municipality, with individual institutions to decide on whether or not to reduce costs of supervision and care for certain categories of parents

The law sets rules for the reorganization and liquidation of organizations, and sets a procedure for determining the cost of residence in student dormitories

The law will come into effect Sept. 1, 2013. It was approved by the State Duma on Dec. 21,2012 and by the Federation Council on Dec. 26,2012
