Free meals for schoolchildren are one of the measures of social support and stimulation of society – in particular, the younger generation. We talk about who can count on free meals at school in 2022

Candidate of Legal Sciences

Federal Law No. 273 -FZ “On Education in the Russian Federation” regulates the issues of education and support for schoolchildren and students. On March 1, 2020, it was amended to provide primary school students with free meals. The changes came into force on September 1, 2020 and affected the way food is provided, as well as the quality and safety requirements for food used to prepare breakfasts and lunches in schools. Previously, school cafeterias were also subject to federal safety regulations, but the provision of food was left to educational organizations. Meals were mostly paid: teachers collected money for lunches and took organized groups of children to buffets. Now everything has changed. By September 1, 2023, schools must fully provide each student in grades 1-4 with at least one hot meal per day (not including a hot drink). Money for food comes from the state budget of different levels. nine0003

Who is eligible for free school meals

Free hot meals are provided to all students in grades 1 to 4 without exception. But only once during the school day. Moreover, it can be either lunch with soup or breakfast with hot porridge. What and when schoolchildren will eat, each school decides for itself, based on the recommendations of doctors.

There are still two free meals a day for students with disabilities. At the same time, disabled children studying at home receive dry rations. nine0004

Children from low-income families can also count on two free meals a day. This measure of support for low-income families is called state social assistance.

How meals at school

As follows from the regulatory documents and as noted by Dmitry Karpukhin, Ph.D. in Law, Associate Professor of the Department of International and Public Law of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, parents are not required to submit any special application for the provision of free meals to their children studying in primary school. This right is unconditional.

But in order for the food in the school cafeteria to be of high quality and safe, parents need to inform the school about the health status of their children, their diagnoses, whether there is an allergy to any food and how it manifests itself. Although this is advisory in nature: parents themselves decide what information about the child’s health to provide and whether it should be done. nine0004

Your child’s health information can be submitted in any format, paper or electronic. These can be certificates from doctors, from clinics, test results showing, for example, that a child has clearly expressed allergens in the blood. Any information about the health of the student will be useful to the school and will allow it to adjust the menu to suit individual needs.

Posture must be protected from a young age. However, textbooks weigh a lot – and the health of the student’s spine largely depends on the choice of the right school backpack. KP compiled a list of the best models of school backpacks

More details

Documents to collect

However, if we are talking about free two meals a day for students with disabilities or children from low-income families, then a package of documents will be needed. nine0003

1) Prepare the child’s birth certificate and its SNILS, if available.

2) Fill out an application for the provision of food at the expense of the city budget, submit it on the mos.ru website (Moscow) or send it to the social protection authorities (for other cities).

3) Certificates confirming that the child has a disability and (or) documents on the parents’ income confirming the family’s status as low-income can be attached to the application. In Moscow, the term for consideration of documents is 8 days. But in general, it should not exceed 30 days. nine0004

4) Take the received certificate of preferential meals to the class teacher along with all documents on the child’s health, which will allow you to create a menu for him.

Popular Questions and Answers

What law regulates the right to food in school?

Anna Ryzhkova, editorial director of the Action Education group :

– The right to food at school is enshrined in Federal Law No. 273-FZ “On Education in the Russian Federation”. Also, food intake by schoolchildren is regulated by Federal Law No. 29-FZ “On the Quality and Safety of Food Products”. Another act regulating school nutrition is Federal Law No. 47-FZ of March 1, 2020 “On Amendments to the Federal Law “On the Quality and Safety of Food Products” and Article 37 of the Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation”. nine0003

Why is food provided only in elementary schools?

Artem Tabunin, General Director of the processing center “Axioma”, a service for accounting for preferential and paid meals in schools :

– It is unequivocally difficult to answer why hot meals will be provided only to elementary school students. Perhaps the reason is that feeding all the elementary school students is a big burden on the budget. In 2021, 46 billion was spent on innovation. Nutrition for all schoolchildren would require twice as much, and the financial block of the Government of the Russian Federation simply would not miss such a legislative initiative. nine0003

Anna Ryzhkova :

– Healthy hot meals at primary school age are very important for the formation of healthy eating habits. The older the children, the more difficult it is to change their eating habits. So we started with younger students.

Where can I download a sample application for free school meals?

Dmitry Karpukhin, Ph.D. In this regard, a unified sample application for free school meals has not been developed. But if the school offers to fill it out, then you can find such an application on the official website of the educational institution. nine0003

Can I refuse free meals?

Artyom Tabunin :

– We keep records of expenses in schools and see that food coverage in the lower grades has grown to 99%. You can opt out of free meals. But it is surprising that there are parents who write statements containing such refusals. There is no unified application form. Therefore, parents, if they believe that the child should eat exclusively homemade food, can make it up themselves. nine0004

Anna Ryzhkova :

– If a parent does not wish to receive a benefit, schools must take a waiver. It will serve as evidence for the verifiers that the food was offered to the child.

10 practical tips on how to properly equip a workplace for a student in the “odnushka”

Understanding the issue together with a psychologist

The child went to school. Which means he needs to go somewhere. Not every parent, alas, can provide their student with a separate room for a personal account. What to do if there is not enough space in the apartment, but you absolutely don’t want the child to suffer from this and be able to write, read books, draw without problems? Together with a private psychologist Pavel Volzhenkov, we will talk about how to competently equip a desktop at low cost and set up a child for learning.

A student needs a personal corner! nine0007

“From the first years of schooling, a child should be taught to work independently,” says psychologist Pavel Volzhenkov. – And for this he must have his own corner. That is, a table for which only he will be responsible, shelves with books where he will put his textbooks. This is his territory. And it is important to take into account the opinion of the student. Only together will you find the right path.

Where can I find this corner in the odnushka? First of all, of course, we focus on the comfort of the child. The kitchen, of course, is an unfortunate option. After all, this place is not only for cooking, but also for constant gatherings, tea parties, and resolving issues. The child simply will not be able to concentrate there. So, the workplace should be placed in the bedroom. nine0004

We immediately dismiss the option at the door. It’s also not very comfortable. Your constant walking will distract the student from doing homework. Many are trying to save square meters and put the child at a table set under a bunk bed in the corner of the room. Also not recommended. Mostly, there will be little light, which will depress the student.

The best option is a corner slightly to the left or right of the window. That is, if the student is right-handed, it is necessary that the light falls from the left. And if you’re left-handed, it’s the other way around. The sun should not blind your eyes and create glare on the monitor. It affects the baby’s vision. nine0004

If there is no space at all

If you have a very small apartment, then the table can be made folding from the wall. But again, it is necessary to take into account that natural light gets there. If there are two children, then you can connect their tables with one partition, or a bookcase for textbooks. And what, cheap and cheerful.

The designers even offer an extended window sill option. There you can lay out textbooks, notebooks and study. On the windows, it will only be necessary to hang curtains or blinds and put a high comfortable chair to such a “table”. nine0004

A transforming table is also a good option, allowing you to expand the work surface and, in accordance with the need to change the height of the legs.

We select the size

Buying or building a table for a child yourself is not enough. It is necessary that the design fits him in terms of parameters in which posture will not suffer. Experts suggest focusing on the following sizes:

– With a height of 100-115 cm: table height – 46 cm, chair – 26 cm.

– With a height of 115-130 cm: table height – 52 cm, chair – 30 cm.

– For height 130 – 145 cm: table height – 58 cm, chair – 34 cm.

– For height 145 – 160 cm: table height – 64 cm, chair – 38 cm. cm: table height – 70 cm, chair height – 42 cm. When working at the table, the child’s legs should be at a right angle so that the knees do not rest against the tabletop from below. And the legs should not hang in the air. They need emphasis. It is important. nine0004

Again, you don’t have to blindly follow the given instructions. Each child is individual, and it is important to listen to his personal opinion.

How light should fall

Let’s repeat: there can be nothing better than daylight for a student’s vision. It is clear that most students do their homework in the afternoon. Therefore, in addition to general diffused lighting, you also need additional – from a table lamp. It does not matter whether it will be with or without a lampshade. The main thing is that she should stand on the left – if the student is right-handed, or on the right – if left-handed, so that the child does not block the directional light with her hand. nine0004

Light bulb choose not strong – up to 60 watts. But halogen lamps will not work. It has been proven that the human eye perceives yellowish light best of all.

How to deal with a computer

Nowadays, a child cannot do without a computer. In elementary school, computer science classes are practiced, and from the second grade, many children independently create the simplest presentations on a PC.

Whether or not to put it on the child’s desktop depends on the parents. The main thing here is to understand that the maximum time for classes on it for an elementary school student is half an hour a day! nine0004

So let it be a laptop or a tablet. They can be taken out for a certain time and then removed again. If, however, a stationary computer is installed on the table for a student from elementary grades, then he will be distracted from his studies. The temptation to play another game or check messages on social networks is too great.

Where to put school supplies

A student has a lot of books, notebooks, and they also need to be placed somewhere conveniently. For this, of course, there are drawers in the table. But if they are not there, you can, for example, put a small shelf on the wall. nine0004

Pay attention to pen and pencil holders. Yes, these little things sometimes cost parents a pretty penny. But it is very important, especially from the first years of schooling, to teach the child to be organized.

By the way, the desk drawers should also be in order so that the student himself can find something there. This is where our imagination comes into play. You can put, for example, cardboard boxes in boxes and paste over them with colored paper or decorative tape. For pens or pencils, narrow elongated containers will be convenient, for erasers, paper clips, staples for a stapler – small square boxes. Let the boxes fit snugly together, otherwise they will slide inside the drawer when it is pulled out, and the contents of the sections may get mixed up. nine0004

A good option is a wall organizer that you can make yourself out of fabric or cardboard. These will be small pockets or wall mounts where you can put all the necessary accessories and free up space on the table.

PSYCHOLOGIST’S ADVICE

1. A student’s workplace should not be tiring. You should not “dazzle” using a lot of bright colors. Enough two- or three-color design. But so that there is a shade that the child really likes. nine0004

2. It is better to separate the work area from the play area and the sleeping area. It is difficult for a student to sit at the lessons if his favorite “walkers” are in his field of vision. Even notebooks are better to buy without cartoons on the cover. They also distract. Let them be either thematic, or with the image of successful people – representatives of different professions.

3. The child needs to establish an interval for rest from lessons. Every 15 minutes it is advisable for a first-grader to walk around and perform a series of simple physical exercises.

Learning programs for infants: What Are Early Learning Programs for Infants and Toddlers?

Early Learning – ZERO TO THREE

The foundation for lifelong learning is built during the
critical early years.

Babies are born curious about the world, and their brains grow exponentially between birth and age 3 as they develop language, motor skills, and early literacy. The foundation for lifelong learning is built during these critical years.

Early learning happens wherever babies are—at home or in child care led by qualified early childhood education professionals. 

Jump To:

From birth to age 3, a child’s brain produces more than a million neural connections each second.

Why It Matters

Parents and caregivers are looking for guidance on how to help children grow and learn during their first three years, when young children are building more than 1 million neural connections per second.

Babies and toddlers learn best through loving, consistent and responsive relationships that support play and exploration.

By the Numbers

Not enough babies get high-quality early learning—because families and educators lack access to the services and tools they need to make it happen. 

Only 32 percent of babies receive developmental screenings to identify delays or areas of concern.

Forty-five states do not require minimum levels of training, like a child development associate credential, for early childhood educators ofr infants and toddlers. In fact, many states require nothing beyond a high school diploma.

Only 37 percent of parents read to their babies every day.

Source: ZERO TO THREE. State of Babies Yearbook: 2022.

I think I was probably wise enough to know that what kind of childhood you had made a difference in who you were. If you made a difference early on, you probably could help someone have a different life than they otherwise would.

Jeree Pawl, ZERO TO THREE Founding Member

Our Impact

ZERO TO THREE is the go-to resource for evidence-based early learning information.

We provide parents and professionals with a library of resources that encourage literacy, communication and early math and science skills.

Developmental screenings through pediatric primary care providers and early intervention programs help address concerns early, but families can’t access these screenings without knowing they exist. Our team of experts supports educators, parents, and caregivers with evidence-based tools they can use today to promote optimal early learning. 

We have three short years to build relationships, nurture brain development and solve for the inequity issues that arise from lack of quality early learning opportunities.

Policymakers need to provide ongoing support to parents, including child development specialists in pediatric settings. This can help parents be their child’s best teacher, increase education requirements for early childhood educator staff while boosting compensation and support and improve access to developmental screenings and early intervention to ensure development is on track.
