In the Russian Federation, there is a certain procedure for admitting a child to school. Unfortunately, not all parents (legal representatives of minors) have a detailed understanding of him, and therefore, when they identify a child in the 1st grade, when they transfer the child from one educational institution to another, they have problems. Can they be avoided? What documents (originals and copies) will be required to identify a child in school? What regulatory documents regulate the procedure and deadlines for enrollment of first graders in public education?
General Provisions
Any school has its own local act, which regulates the procedure for parents to contact the institution. This Regulation is a legal normative act.
When compiling it, the rules for admission to school established at the federal level are taken into account. What key points can be included in such a Regulation?
Regulatory framework for the admission of children to a general educational institution
The procedure for admission to school is carried out in accordance with paragraphs 2-4 of Art. 67 Federal Law "On Education", as well as the procedure for admitting children to all levels of education, which was approved by order of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation.
When developing the Regulation at the level of a particular educational institution, local acts and orders of the administration of the municipality (the founder of the public institution) are used.
The administrative order shall be submitted by the institution for free familiarization by parents by February 1 of the current year. It indicates the basic rules for admission to school, rights and obligations.
Destination
The provision regarding the admission of children to budgetary municipal educational institutions for general education programs of primary education applies to those children who live in the territory assigned to the school. The place of residence is the place of registration of parents or legal representatives (guardians, adoptive parents) of minor children.
In the case of separation of parents and future first graders, the rules for admission to school imply the establishment of an agreement of parents to educate the child in a particular educational institution. When registering at the place of residence of persons who have not reached the age of fourteen, it is supposed to issue a certificate of registration with the migration service.
The rules for admission to school allow refusal to persons who are assigned to the OS in admission only if there are no vacant places in the school. Such a refusal must be in writing, contain the seal of the school, the signature of the director. The refusal formulates the reason for the negative decision made on the documents submitted by the parents (legal representatives) to enroll the child in the OS. Parents have a legal right to appeal the refusal in accordance with the legislation in force in our country (apply to court, prosecutor's office).
Important points
The rules for admitting students to school are fully consistent with the basic constitutional rights and freedoms of children. Reception of documents, as well as training in basic general educational programs is carried out free of charge. As a basis for enrollment, the application of the parents or legal representatives of the future student is considered with the obligatory presentation of a valid civil passport.
Documentation package
The rules for admission to school include the submission of certain documents:
- original and photocopy of the birth certificate of the child:
- the original and copies of the certificate confirming registration at the place of residence in the area assigned to the public institution
Other documents may also be provided by parents or legal representatives:
- photocopy of the passport for those children who have reached the age of fourteen;
- copy of TIN;
- health certificate;
- photocopy of compulsory health insurance policy;
- copy of SNILS (state pension insurance certificate);
- consent (in writing) to the processing of personal information about parents and children;
- in case of transfer of a child from one to another OS - a private matter, a medical record;
- when moving from one school to another during the school year, a statement with current grades is provided, certified by the director of the educational institution;
- for children with health restrictions, admission to school is supposed to be based on a special (adapted) program with the consent of the parents (guardians, adoptive parents) based on recommendations given by the psychological, medical and pedagogical commission.
What is important to know
The rules for the admission of students to school also include the particulars of enrolling children in institutions of higher education whose parents or legal representatives are foreign citizens or stateless persons. In such situations, they must provide copies of documents certified in the prescribed manner that confirm direct kinship (legality of the representation of the rights and interests of the child), a document that confirms the legality of the presence of such persons in the territory of the Russian Federation.
An important point is the need for foreign citizens located in the Russian Federation to provide all documents related to the child’s enrollment in school in Russian.
How is the enrollment process
The provision "Rules for admission to school" explains the algorithm for enrolling students in school. After checking the package of documents filed by parents (legal representatives), the order of the director of the public institution is drawn up (the deadline is 7 days from the date of receipt of documents).
Briefing
The rules for admission to the school under the new law imply acquaintance of parents (guardians, adoptive parents) with the Charter of the educational organization, a license for the right to carry out educational and educational activities, the state certificate of accreditation, educational and developmental programs, and other documents that regulate the organization of the educational process in the school.
The fact of familiarization of the child’s legal representatives with all the regulatory legal acts relating to upbringing and education in the community of institutions is confirmed by the personal signature of the parents.
The rules for admission to school under the new law require the registration of all applications submitted by parents in a special register. After registration, a receipt is issued on receipt of the originals and copies of documents. It has a registration number, a list of submitted documents. The receipt is certified by the seal of the educational organization and the signature of the person who accepted the documents (deputy director of the school for educational and methodical work).
On the day of publication, an order to enroll a child in school is posted on the information stand. For each child who enters the OS, a class teacher starts a personal file. It contains all the documents and copies that were handed over by the parents (legal representatives) when determining the child in the OS.
Admission to schools in the capital
How is admission to school in Moscow? The rules in force in the capital of the Russian Federation are no different from those that operate in other Russian regions. How to identify a child in first grade? Children are accepted who on September 1 of the school year have reached 6 years and 6 months, but subject to the absence of any contraindications for mental and physical health. The maximum term for enrollment in first grade under Russian law is 8 years.
In order to identify a child in Moscow in grade 1, parents (legal representatives) must write a statement. Currently, this can be done both with a personal visit to the school, and through the Portal of public services. The application must indicate certain information about the child:
- surname, name, patronymic;
- place and date of birth;
- information about the parents (guardians, adoptive parents) of the future first-grader;
- address of the place of residence of the child, his parents;
- contact information (parents' mobile phones for quick communication)
What you need to know
As in other regions of the Russian Federation, when accepting a package of documents from parents or legal representatives of a future first-grader, the leadership of the educational organization must verify the legality of such actions. Otherwise, the school management should inform the law enforcement authorities about the facts that have been identified, which may be the reason for a special investigation (for example, the child was abducted from the family).
To summarize
Currently, there is a clear algorithm in the Russian legislation according to which documents are accepted to schools from parents (guardians, adoptive parents). You can find it in the Federal Law "On Education". It is valid not only for children newly enrolled in an educational institution, but also for schoolchildren who transfer at the stage of primary, basic, secondary education from school to another school for various subjective and objective reasons.
Particular attention in the Federal Law "On Education" is given to the particularities of accepting children in first grade. Parents whose children do not have physical and mental health restrictions (medical certificate) have the right to submit documents.
If any deviations from normal development are detected in clinical trials, a special commission is created, which includes, in addition to medical workers, psychologists. Having carried out special diagnostics, they recommend training the child in special corrective techniques. Under Russian law, parents have the right to educate the child in the family, but only with his consent.
If there are no contraindications, the child will turn 6 years old 6 months on September 1 of the year from which his parents (legal representatives) plan to enter the first grade, the child lives in a microdistrict belonging to this educational organization, the school administration has no right to refuse acceptance of applications in 1 class. According to the innovations that have been installed in our country, the acceptance of documents has been allowed since February 1 of this year in two ways: by personal appeal of parents (guardians, adoptive parents) to an educational organization with a full package of documents, as well as by submitting an application through the State Services Portal in electronic form. The second option involves an application to the application scans of documents, the subsequent provision of the originals of the school administration.
If the document package meets the local acts in force at a particular school, the fact of admission is recorded in a special registration journal, and parents receive a receipt with the seal of the organization.
Within seven working days, the school principal issues an order to enroll this child in first grade. The only reason for refusing to accept a preschooler to study at school may be the lack of free (vacant) places in the community.
