Based on the success of Y Learning Academy and the ongoing needs for learning support, we are incorporating academic support from Learning Coaches into our traditional Y Club program to make it Y Club Academy. With a focus on academic support, learning, social growth, health and safety, Y Club Academy gives kindergartners through sixth graders a supportive and fun environment to learn, develop interests and make friends before and after school. Parents enjoy the convenience of a state licensed program in their child’s school, affordable weekly fees, and peace of mind knowing that qualified, trained staff are there to provide a positive atmosphere.

Before and After School Care
Bonus learning & fun outside of school hours.
The Y’s Before & After School Enrichment (BASE) Program helps fill a gap for working families by keeping kids safe when not in school.
Through a combination of recreational and mentor-led activities, we are able to complement what kids are already learning in the classroom. School-age kids balance learning and fun while developing social skills and engaging with positive adult role models.

Who will be working with my child throughout the school year?

At the Y, we believe that our staff is our greatest resource. Our team all have prior experience working with children and have school-age-specific training to ensure they not only provide your child with a fun experience but a safe and educational one as well.
To ensure your child is in safe hands, all staff members must also pass through a rigorous series of background checks including FBI Fingerprinting, National Child Abuse Registry, National & State Sex Offender Registry, and full reference checks.
All staff receive training on key topics like Child abuse Recognition and Prevention, CPR and First-Aid Training, Health and Safety, COVID-19 Procedures, Character Development and Group Dynamics, Diversity and Inclusion Training, and SO much more!
After I register, do I need to fill out any additional paperwork?

After you register, you will receive an email from ePACT giving you access to complete required forms and waivers, including immunization records, emergency contact forms, and health history information. You must complete this paperwork before your child(ren) can attend YMCA Before and After School Enrichment. We estimate this paperwork will take about 30 minutes to complete.

School education in Sweden – Sweden
Photo: Lieselotte van den Meijs/imagebank.sweden.se
Working with children, the teacher takes on the role of a helper rather than a strict teacher with a pointer.
Education from kindergarten
Formally, the educational process begins literally from kindergarten: the vast majority of Swedish children start going to kindergartens at the age of 1.5-2 years. Early childhood education is an integral part of the Swedish educational system and is available to everyone, regardless of income level. Swedish early childhood education emphasizes the importance of play in a child’s development. Gender-oriented education is becoming increasingly popular, the main goal of which is to give children equal opportunities in life, regardless of gender. At the age of 6, children go to kindergarten (förskoleklass, “zero grade”), where they are prepared for their first steps in a comprehensive school.
The child’s personality and dignity are inviolable and children in Sweden have the same right to respect and equality as adults.
School education – year after year
From the age of six, every child in Sweden has the right to a free (that is, funded by taxes) education at school. The Swedish Education Act mandates nine years of compulsory schooling for all children.
Compulsory schooling in Sweden involves three stages of education: primary school – lågstadiet (grades 0-3), middle grades – mellanstadiet (grades 4-6), high grades – högstadiet (grades 7-9classes). After graduating from compulsory secondary school, a three-year gymnasium education follows (grades 10-12).
Students must have passing scores in Swedish, English and Mathematics in order to enter upper secondary school. Education at the gymnasium is not mandatory, however, it is necessary to complete it if you are going to enter the university, and also to get a job in some specialties immediately after school. In 2020, approximately 72% of upper secondary school students received certificates of completion of a full 12-year secondary school.

Ungraded up to sixth grade
Up to sixth grade in Swedish students do not give marks at all, so as not to interfere with individual development and not cause a feeling of competition and stress. Over the past hundred years, Sweden has tried many knowledge assessment systems. In 2011, Swedish schools switched from a three-point scale to a six-point scale. Students can be given the following grades: A (excellent), B (very good), C (good), D (satisfactory), E (adequate), F – failing. The system of attestation and assessment of schoolchildren’s knowledge is an eternal subject of heated debate, both among politicians and school workers. The Swedes believe that any grading system is always imperfect and fraught with injustice. Therefore, new approaches to attestation of students are regularly discussed in the Riksdag and municipal authorities.
Physical education is also included in the schedule, but more in the form of outdoor games, trips to the forest and nature, if the weather permits. Photo: Ann-Sophie Rosenquist/imagebank.sweden.se

What is taught at school
From the first grade on the third basis of the school curriculum are mathematics, Swedish, home economics, social science and natural history. Most of the lessons are in the form of a game. Already at the age of 7-10, in civics classes, children are actively involved in the discussion of what is happening in the world, for example, after watching the children’s news program Lilla Aktuellt together. This program is broadcast daily on Swedish television. In a simple and intelligible way, she introduces the youngest viewers to the main events in Sweden and the world. From the third grade, students begin to learn English. They are not bothered with cramming and grammar yet – they learn simple songs, teach them to count, and in a playful way they introduce them to some words and expressions. Physical education is also present in the schedule, but more in the form of outdoor games, trips to nature, if the weather allows. Home economics is one of my favorites. On them, boys and girls learn to sew and knit together, make toys and simple household utensils with their own hands, as well as cook and bake according to simple recipes.
Starting from the middle grades, the workload and the volume of requirements for knowledge and skills of schoolchildren are growing noticeably. There are more homework assignments and opportunities for self-selection of subjects. For example, from the sixth grade, you can choose a second language, in addition to English. The most popular are German, French and Spanish. Some schools even have the opportunity to study Russian.
National exam
Third, sixth and eighth grade students are required to take tests in some subjects. The purpose of the exams, however, is not only to evaluate the performance of each student, but also to measure the overall level of quality of education in the country’s schools and determine how well or poorly they are fulfilling their educational mission.
- In Sweden, 83.6% of adults aged 25-64 have achieved a high school (gymnasium) diploma, compared with about 75% of adults across OECD countries on average.
- Education in Sweden is financed mainly by municipal taxes, but there is also a general state grant. It is given to municipalities that have insufficient funds in the education budget
- Sweden was the first country in the world to ban corporal punishment of children at 1979 year. It was also one of the first countries to sign the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1990.
Psychological comfort is a priority
Children’s psychological well-being is a priority in Swedish schools. Each has a curator, to whom the child can come and talk, for example, about their problems with academic performance, about difficulties in the Swedish family or with peers. In addition, teachers regularly conduct individual conversations with each child, during which they try to find out how comfortable the child feels in the classroom, among classmates, whether he has time to learn the material, whether he needs additional help from the school or parents. At the beginning and end of each academic semester, students are assessed. It takes place individually, in the form of a conversation with the child himself and his parents. Its goal is to help the child identify problem areas in their studies and understand what needs to be worked on in the future. At the same time, the teacher acts only as a moderator, asks leading questions, helps the child formulate an idea, but does not impose his point of view.
If you know the answer, prove it
When solving problems, for example, in mathematics, physics or chemistry, the Swedish school pays special attention to how the student thinks and analyzes the problem. That is, it is important not only to give the correct answer, but also to show how you come to a decision.
Protect children and students from humiliating treatment, bullying and harassment. Principals of schools, kindergartens and directors of adult education programs have a responsibility to ensure that all students are not discriminated against and that all students are treated with respect. In 2006, Sweden appointed the first Ombudsman who was tasked with providing information on discriminatory practices to help schools prevent bullying and represent the interests of students. The Ombudsman is a member of the Swedish School Inspectorate, the government body tasked with inspecting schools. It is also important that every school has a nurse, a psychologist and a social worker.

Individualized care
Students who have difficulty reading and/or writing are entitled to additional individual assistance from teachers. Some children find it difficult to focus on what the teacher is saying. According to statistics, in almost every class there is a child diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). These children need special support to learn to concentrate and not be distracted. An individual study plan is developed for them so that they can catch up with their peers and open up to the fullest.
Extended fun
In addition to the school program, students aged 6 to 13 usually attend an extended day group – after school or before school starts if parents start working early. Special teachers conduct creative, playful, developing classes. Usually this is drawing, decor, needlework, hiking in the forest or team games. For the extended day group, parents pay a contribution depending on the family income.

You need to study for a year or two at a local university. Austria is one of
few European countries that allow foreign citizens to enroll in
their universities right after high school or college/technical school.
The only exception is medical specialties, enrollment in which is possible after completing the first year of a medical university in your home country.
If the applicant is under the age of 18, then studying in Austria is still
possible with a certificate of completed secondary education.

required documents to the admissions office. After your application is approved, you will be sent
an invitation to study, which indicates the core subjects for study and delivery to
preparatory (or zero) course. Upon arrival in Austria, you register

preparatory courses
The duration of secondary education in Austria is 12-13 years, in the CIS countries students study
11 years. Therefore, when entering an Austrian university after school, it is necessary to compensate for the difference in certificates.
For this, the student is already required to attend the zero course (Vorstudienlehrgang).
Here, in addition to German, students study core subjects and take their first exams.
During this period, students can also take classes at the university, but cannot take exams in the main course of study.
university
After successful completion of the preparatory course, students begin their studies at the university.
All restrictions regarding exams are removed, and a full-fledged student life begins.
Austrian universities do not have a fixed timetable: students choose their own
subjects, class times and teachers.

History of education: from the first schools of Russia to the Soviet ones
Publications of the Education section
At various times, lessons in literacy and drawing, physics and logic, astronomy and Greek were taught in Russian schools. Classes were conducted first by clerics, and later by subject teachers. The Culture.RF portal tells how the education system in Russia has changed over the course of ten centuries.
First schools

“Before the Slavs, when they were pagans, they did not have letters, but [counted] and guessed with the help of features and cuts” , – was reported in the Bulgarian treatise of the beginning of the 10th century “On Letters” .
After the baptism of Russia in 988, the state faced the task of “inculcating” a new religion, and for this it was necessary to teach the population to read and write. The Slavic alphabet appeared – it was created specifically for the translation of church texts by the Greeks Cyril and Methodius. The first schools were opened in Kyiv, Novgorod, Smolensk, Suzdal, Kursk. Scientists have established that it took from 50 to 100 years for writing to become widespread among the nobility, clergy, individual merchants and artisans.
In the 20th century, more than a thousand birch bark letters were found during excavations in Novgorod. Among them are letters and drawings of Onfim, a boy of six or seven years old, who lived in the 13th century. The researchers believe that the child lost his exercises. Most likely, Onfim moved from writing on a wax tablet to writing on birch bark. First, the students wrote out the full alphabet, then syllables, and then copied fragments from the Psalter and business formulas like “Collect debts from Dmitry”, “Bow from Onfim to Danila”.
According to historian Vasily Tatishchev, Prince Roman Smolensky opened several schools in Smolensk. They studied Greek and Latin. In the Suzdal Principality, Prince Konstantin was engaged in education.
In the Principality of Suzdal, Prince Konstantin (son of Vsevolod III) collected a library of Greek and Slavic books, ordered translations from Greek into Russian and bequeathed – in 1218 – his house in Vladimir and part of the income from the estate to the school in which they were supposed to teach Greek.

You can learn about the education system in the Moscow state from the “ABCs” – collections with teaching aids and school rules. In the 17th century, schools for boys aged 8–12 were run by clerics. The training went slowly: they crammed the alphabet, then they began to read the Book of Hours, the Psalter, the Acts of the Apostles and the Gospel, then they moved on to writing.
The “seven free arts” were mastered in the senior classes: grammar, dialectics, rhetoric, church singing, arithmetic, land surveying, which included information on geometry and geography, and star science, that is, astronomy. Of the foreign languages, only Latin and Greek were held in high esteem – they were taught to future church ministers, officials and diplomats.
The elder children of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, under the guidance of the poet and theologian Simeon of Polotsk, studied Latin, Greek and Polish languages, music. But the education of the youngest son – the future Peter I – was not given due attention. By this time, Alexei Mikhailovich had died, and the child from his second marriage, along with his mother, fell into disgrace.
Peter began to learn to write, I think, at the beginning of 1680 and never knew how to write in a decent handwriting. Zotov (former clerk Ivan Zotov, assigned to the tsarevich. – Ed.) as a teaching aid used illustrations brought to Moscow from abroad, acquainted Peter with the events of Russian history.
Peter was taught to use the astrolabe brought from abroad (the oldest astronomical instrument. – Ed. ) by the Dutchman Timmerman. Another Dutchman from the German Quarter, by the name of Karshten-Brant, taught the inquisitive young man to tack on the boat and control the sails.

Peter I understood the need for professional education. Therefore, in 1701, in Moscow, by his decree, the School of Mathematical and Navigational Sciences was opened. Young men of different classes aged from 12 to 20 studied there. After mastering literacy, arithmetic, geometry and trigonometry, students of low origin, as a rule, entered the service, and the offspring of noble families moved to the “upper school”, where they studied German, astronomy, geography, navigation, fortification.
At the same time, educational institutions appeared, graduating metallurgical workers, doctors, clerical workers, engineers, chemists, artillerymen, and translators. In 1714, elementary digital schools appeared – they focused on arithmetic and geometry.
Educational duty was introduced for “provincial nobles and clerks, clerks and clerks from 10 to 15 years old”. She caused dissatisfaction with her parents, since merchants and artisans traditionally taught their heirs to read and write, and at the same time they taught trade. Because of this, the merchants could not transfer the family business to the children in a timely manner. The clergy, on the other hand, sent their offspring to religious bishops’ schools – they opened in all dioceses in 1721.
One of Peter’s last creations was the Academy of Sciences. Its emperor established it in 1724. However, she began work after the death of the emperor – at the end of 1725. The academy included a gymnasium and a university.
The university is a collection of scientists who teach high sciences, like feology and jurisprudence (rights to art), medicine, philosophy, that is, to what state they have now reached, they teach young people.

The first educational institution for girls was opened during the reign of Catherine II. In 1764, the Empress established the Educational Society for Noble Maidens. It went down in history as the Smolny Institute. The institute existed until 1917.
The subjects of education at the first age (6-9 years old) were: the Law of God, Russian and foreign languages (reading and writing), arithmetic, drawing, needlework and dancing. History and geography were added to the second age (9-12 years old) … At the third age (12-15 years old), verbal sciences were introduced, which consisted in reading historical and moral books. Then more followed: experienced physics, architecture, sculpture, turning and heraldry. Housekeeping was already taught in practice… The course of the last age (15-18 years old) consisted in repeating everything passed, with special attention paid to the Law of God.
Women’s education differed significantly from that of men. Founded back in 1732, the gentry land cadet corps under Catherine II received a new charter. Students studied in the corps from the age of five to the age of 21. The young men mastered “useful” sciences (physics, martial arts, tactics, chemistry, artillery), “necessary for civil rank” (nationwide, state and natural law, moral teaching, state economy), other sciences (logic, mathematics, mechanics, eloquence, geography, history) and “art” (drawing, dancing, fencing, architecture, etc.). This program was developed under the influence of the ideas of the French Enlightenment.
In 1786 they adopted the Charter of public schools in the Russian Empire. Small schools with two classes of primary education appeared, and in large cities – secondary schools with three classes, as well as main ones with five years of education (the last, fourth class lasted two years). In the main public schools, they studied arithmetic and geometry, physics and mechanics, natural history and architecture with drawing plans, geography and history, as well as optionally Latin and current European languages. Graduates of the main schools could pass the exam for the title of teacher.

In 1802, Emperor Alexander I established the Ministry of Public Education. Its main principles were classlessness (with the exception of serfs) and free primary education, as well as the continuity of curricula. In 1804, elementary schools began to be opened at church parishes, attended mainly by peasant children. Since 1803, the main public schools began to be transformed into gymnasiums (the first women’s gymnasium opened 55 years later, in 1858, in St. Petersburg). Gradually, new subjects were introduced into the program: mythology, statistics, philosophy, psychology, commercial sciences, natural history, foreign languages. In gymnasiums, emphasis was placed on classical education – the humanities were in priority.
In 1811, the first admission to the Imperial Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum took place. For six years, boys from noble families were given encyclopedic knowledge. Particular attention was paid to national history and the “Russian language”, which was practically not studied in the gymnasiums of that time. Pushkin’s classmate, statesman, historian Modest Korf wrote:
… Until the very end, some general course continued for everyone, semi-gymnasium and semi-university, about everything in the world: mathematics with differentials and integrals, astronomy in a wide scale, church history, even higher theology – all this took us as much, sometimes more time, than jurisprudence and other political sciences.
The entire population of the empire gained access to education only after the abolition of serfdom and the establishment in 1864 of zemstvos – elected bodies of local self-government. They studied in zemstvo schools for three years, and from the beginning of the 20th century – four. There they studied calligraphy, arithmetic, the Law of God, church singing. Boys and girls were admitted to schools from the age of eight. Parish schools continued to operate in the 19th century.

After the October Revolution of 1917, skilled workers were needed, so labor schools began to open in the country.
The 1920s were marked by experimentation. Homework was canceled, history lessons were replaced with political literacy and social science. On the ground, they tried to introduce the American model: children could choose subjects themselves and hand over projects on them. Such training brought students closer to practice.
However, in 1927, the government no longer designated exemplary, but mandatory programs and curricula. Most of the teaching hours were devoted to the lessons of mathematics, Russian and native languages, the Constitution of the USSR, calligraphy, drafting, chemistry, and labor became obligatory.
Philosopher Alexander Zinoviev recalled the school of the 1930s:
The school where I studied from 1933 to 1939 was built in 1930 and was considered new. She was no exception at the time. But there were few such schools. She was not privileged. But at the same time, it was one of the best schools in the country.
<...> Initiation to culture at first also happened for me through school. These are the excursions mentioned above, various kinds of circles, collective trips to museums, cinemas and theaters. There was a drama club in our school. <...> We even had music lessons. The teacher, noticing that I had neither a voice nor hearing, but that I was constantly drawing something, suggested that I “draw music”, that is, depict in drawings how I perceived music.
At that time, compulsory first four-year and then seven-year education was introduced for children aged 8–10. At 19At the age of 43, they began to take to school from the age of seven. In the post-war period, a school uniform appeared, lessons of logic, psychology, Latin were added to the program, and they returned to separate education for boys and girls. But after Stalin’s death, the “gymnasium” trends were removed. During the Cold War era, a new subject appeared – initial military training, which remained in the program until the late 1980s.

Entering a university in Germany after school
Contents
Many people are attracted by the opportunity to get a higher education in Germany. Consider the advantages of this country and ways to enter a German university after school.
Why get a higher education in Germany
- Firstly, higher education in Germany in public universities is free.
- Secondly, foreigners have the opportunity to receive grants to study in Germany.
- Thirdly, favorable conditions have been created in Germany for the immigration of foreign students.
How to enter a university in Germany after school
Students from Russia and the CIS countries cannot be directly enrolled in a German state university after high school. There are two ways to enter:
- get a certificate of complete general secondary education and study for 2 years at a university in your country;
- either after high school or after the first year of university, take a subject test called Feststellungsprüfung . After passing the test, the candidate is issued a certificate that allows him to enter some German universities.
To take this test, you must register for preparatory courses at university colleges called Studienkollegs.de.
Training lasts 1 year and consists of a German language course and 5-7 specialized subjects depending on which specialty the student is going to apply to the university after college.
In order to enroll in preparatory courses, you must already have a German language proficiency level of at least B2 according to the European Framework of Reference for Languages.
College education is free, you only need to pay a semester fee from 30 to 200 euros and medical insurance – 20-70 euros per month. Of course, in order to obtain a visa to Germany, the applicant must show the availability of funds for the duration of the study, which is now 8,100 euros per year.
Requirements for applicants from abroad
- pass a German language test. The German language test is not required if the subject test Feststellungsprüfung is passed or if you plan to study in an international program where instruction is taught in English. In this case, you will have to take TOEFL or IELTS;
- pass a specialized test. Typically required for admissions in decorative arts, design, music, or sports, or a general academic ability test such as TestAs.
How to apply
First you need to choose a German university and study program. To do this, you can use the website daad.de (DAAD) or another official website hochschulkompass.de.
Then you can start submitting documents to the selected university. Our students after the second year can apply directly to the university or through the online system uni.assist.de.
Before submitting documents, you should check whether the specialty you plan to receive is on the national list of quota disciplines.
In Germany, there are two categories of specialties: national quotas (Numerus Clausus) and university quotas. The list of specialties with quotas at the country level includes specialties for which there is a great demand, i.e. more applicants than German universities can enroll.
The current list of quota specialties can be found at hochschulstart.de. National quotas are distributed among applicants according to their average score in the school certificate.
It also takes into account how long the applicant is in the queue for a quota. The decision to enroll in specialties that are not quota-based at the national level is made at the level of the universities themselves.
When to apply
There are two important dates: January 15, and July 15, . If you plan to start studying in Germany in October, applications should be submitted between the beginning of June and July 15th.
If you plan to start studying in April, you need to submit documents from the beginning of December until January 15th.
Which universities exist in Germany
There are 6 main types of higher education institutions in Germany:
Universities (Universitaeten, Uni)
Classical universities are still the pillar of German higher education. It not only teaches, but also conducts fundamental and applied scientific research.
Technical Universities (Technische Universitaeten, TU)
The main emphasis in these universities is on the study of exact sciences and engineering. Although a number of humanitarian disciplines can also be taught.
Universities of Applied Sciences (Fachhochschulen, FH)
This type of university provides more applied education and in a shorter time than classical universities. Due to the practical orientation of training, much attention is paid to internships in the specialty.
Creative universities (Musik- und Kunsthochschulen)
These universities train future artists, designers, architects, musicians, media workers and other creative professionals. The main emphasis is on teaching specific professional skills.
Specialized universities
Specialized universities include universities with a narrow specialization, such as pedagogical, medical, veterinary and other similar universities.
Non-state, private universities (Private Hochschulen)
This category includes private universities with state accreditation. The cost of education here is higher than in public universities and ranges from 1,500 to 6,000 euros per semester , more programs are offered in English and there are more stringent admission requirements.

how to get, documents, new rules for graduates of colleges and universities
On March 29, three more types of deferment from the army appeared in the law on conscription. Those who graduate from school, study at technical schools and enter the master’s program will be able to use them. Previously, it was possible to get into the army right after school, now graduates and students were given the opportunity to get an education, and only then repay their debts to their homeland.
Source:
Federal Law No. 39-FZ of March 18, 2019
On April 1, the President announced another conscription to the army. If you or your children may receive a subpoena, read how to get a deferral given the new law.
What’s changed in deferment rules
Here’s what to keep in mind for students and their parents:
- 18-year-old students will be given a deferment to finish school.
- And then – for admission to a university, technical school or college, until October 1.
- And while studying at a university, technical school or college.
- And again – for a master’s program after a bachelor’s degree. Regardless of previous delays at school.
- Spring conscription began on April 1, 18-year-old students and schoolchildren can receive subpoenas.
- To get a deferment, you need to go to the military enlistment office with documents.
- Students from other cities can do this at their place of study – they don’t have to go to their city.
- To confirm the postponement, a certificate from the educational institution is required.
A 19-year-old guy from St. Petersburg achieved these rights for all conscripts in Russia. Remember his last name – Solovyov.
Whom does it concern?
This applies to men of military age – from 18 to 27 years old – who may receive a summons to the army. That is, they are subject to compulsory conscription and must serve in the army. But some men are legally entitled to a delay. Although they are 18 years old, they will not be called up to the army in the near future: you can get a summons, go to the draft board with her and get permission not to serve for a good reason yet.

There are several types of such deferrals in the law. For example, those who have two children, who have been declared temporarily unfit, or who have become a deputy, will not be drafted into the army. There is a separate deferral for studies: Russia wants men to get an education, so it allows them not to serve while studying at a school or university. There have been changes in the rules of this study delay.
Since changes in the terms of deferment from the army affect graduates and students, this also applies to their parents, who take part in the choice of a university, technical school and form of education after school.
/you-are-in-the-army/
I am a contract soldier, that’s what Russia gives me
What was the problem with deferment from the army?
Pupils who turned 18 in high school were given a deferment from the army to finish school. This was the first postponement, that is, the guys did not get into the spring draft. If a graduate entered a university, he was given another deferment – for the duration of his undergraduate studies. But if a young man wanted to study at a college or graduate school, he could no longer get a deferment. Because for vocational education they didn’t give a second one, and for master’s programs a third one was needed, which is not required by law.
At the same time, if the graduate turned 18 after school, he could receive a deferral for both the technical school and the master’s program. The opportunity to get an education depended on how old the boy went to school and when he graduated.
Parents had to look for alternative deferral options. And a man could be left without a master’s degree and the necessary diploma because of the army. Some college students were drafted into the army straight from their studies. For example, on September 1 he entered, and on December 1 he went to serve.
The Constitutional Court is against such laws
One student did not come to terms with the norms of the law: they say, for some reason, they do not give me a deferral for the duration of my studies. The military registration and enlistment office considered that one deferral was given at school when the student turned 18, and another one until October 1 after graduation from grade 11. And there are no more college deferrals, so join the army.
Instead of the army, a 19-year-old guy went to the Constitutional Court and won the right for all graduates and students to study without the threat of being drafted into the army. The chief judges of the country said that the law is unconstitutional and violates the rights of people – it must be changed. Here they changed.
Who will be given a study deferment
Items that were considered the first deferment for 18-year-old schoolchildren were removed from the article on deferrals. Now this will not prevent you from completing a master’s degree or studying at a technical school.
Types of postponement for graduates and students
Who will receive a deferment | on what conditions |
---|---|
18-year-old school | still does not graduate from school | Until October 1 of the same year |

University students who study for a bachelor’s degree can safely continue their studies at a master’s degree. Even if they were given a deferment at school, and then at a university, now they will give another one for a master’s degree.
But such deferments are given to bachelors and masters only once. In two universities, a conscript fit for service will not have time to unlearn: he will have to serve during a break.
You can’t get a college deferral after college. Because these are deferrals of the same type – and after school it is only allowed once.

How not to join the army before graduate school
How to get a deferral from the army
To get a study deferment, you need to personally come to the military enlistment office with documents. It is not provided in absentia: if you receive a summons, collect documents and take them to the commission. The military registration and enlistment office does not know that the conscript is studying at school or enrolled in a university.
What documents confirm the deferment from the army
Here is a short instruction for those who are studying and cannot serve:
- Get a certificate from an educational institution: school, college or university. This is a special form, they know. Tell me what you need at the military registration and enlistment office for a delay.
- Diploma and school license may be required.
- Go to the military enlistment office within the time specified in the agenda. Now there is a call wave from April 1 to July 15. The next one is from October 1st to December 31st.
- Wait for the decision of the draft board. She will check the grounds for the postponement and issue an extract from the protocol. There are five days for this, the statement can be sent by mail.
What happens when the grace period ends?
If there is no reason for the delay or it has ended, you will have to serve. But only if by this time they have not yet turned 27 years old. If a conscript turns 27, he is enrolled in the reserve and does not need to serve in the army.
If you don’t go anywhere after school, then there will be no reason for a delay – it will be given until a maximum of October 1, and a summons will be sent to the autumn draft. And if you don’t enter a master’s program after a bachelor’s degree, you will also have to go to the army. And without a smartphone: only a push-button phone can be taken from this call.
/dengi-v-armii/
How much money does a conscript need in the army?
What happens to editors after school? This means that first we train them, then they work in interesting projects for an interesting fee for them.
Here are the people with whom I worked at the third stage of the School of Editors – what happened to them and what they do.
I write only about those whom I know about and who defended my diplomas. If you studied with me, but I didn’t write about you, I just don’t know what you do. Tell us on Telegram how you are doing (and send photos): @perepisal

Lena Evstratova writes: “I graduated from two levels of the school of editors. While still a student, she wrote an article in the Tinkoff magazine about real estate valuation. Thanks to this article, Nadya Tsvetkova found me and invited me to work at Tinkov Bank.
I am currently a mortgage products editor. Initially, I came to write a guide to mortgages, and now I work as a multi-machine — I write monthly digests, newsletters about processes, SMS, texts for landings and special projects. Recently I tried to write scripts for videos and screencasts.
In the school of editors, the interface was hard for me, I did not like it. Now this is the most interesting part of the work – we, together with the developers, are thinking about how to make the personal mortgage account understandable and concise, and discussing some phrases for several days.
Thanks to school, I stopped being afraid of new formats and learned to figure out the problem. I also found new friends – Sasha Kozlova and I are still friends. In February, together with her and Natasha Zhutova – also a student of our stream of the school of editors – we had a nice walk at the Tinkov-magazine party “
Alisa Jannau : “In Tinkov-Business I am responsible for the text of the business editorial: I write and edit the text of remote authors. Everything here: landing pages about electronic signatures; instructions on how to pass currency control; Urgant’s jokes for advertising”
Vika Plotanenko : “I work in the product department: I make stories in a mobile application. In the stories, we talk about the features of the application and how to use the bank’s products correctly. We also advise where to spend the weekend, what to see or read, how to save money or buy profitably. Resizing articles and news from T—Zh. In the rear of the bank and the magazine, I have been writing and editing for almost two years. In the summer of 2018, she moved from Novosibirsk to Moscow, the office is cool”
Olga Menikhart : “Now I am the chief editor at Tinkov-Journal and a product editor at a bank.
After graduating from the School of Editors, I worked for a year in the same place – editor and editor-in-chief of the regional media in Vladivostok.
Then she quit, came to Nadia Tsvetkaya and took over part of the bank’s product tasks. Together with Nadya, we made help, mailing lists, landing pages, flyers, stories for the application. I like it.
At the end of July, I move to Moscow and go to work in the Tinkov-Bank office — I will do the same, but in my own direction”
“I should have taken a nice photo in the coworking space, but I go there too rarely”
Lena Kiseleva — editor of the business section in T—Zh. Lena collects stories of entrepreneurs: she travels to farms and factories, interviews owners of cafes and sports studios, and tells how to start and not fail your business.
By the way, it’s not unfounded about farms and industries. I have my first business trip on Monday – we are going with video production to Mari El to film the production of cheese and milk and a goat farm
My graduates Seryoga Vasin and Karina Fomina also worked at Tinkov-Bank and the magazine at various times. Surely someone else. Sorry if I forgot about you.
Develop other media and blogs

Going about their business
Maya Bogdanova is a well-known content marketer and head of her own copywriting school. She was cool before school, stayed cool after school, she’s doing well 🙂
Nikita Larionov works at Otkritie Factoring.
Graduates of the second stage
30 people study at the second stage, we do group practical tasks with them and communicate in chat. This is also the same school of life. I’ll try to remember how it turned out for those who finished the second and did not go to the third:
Ira Usichenko and Tonya Sergeeva work under the supervision of Luda Sarycheva on the Delo website.
Ira Usichenko in Telegram: “On Fridays I go to work at my favorite Tula coffee shop Kofekult. These are the five minutes when I am pleased with myself, because I did a lot of things in a week. But then I will again be dissatisfied that I didn’t manage to do anything”
Stas Zvyagintsev started working with Orange (this is such a telecom operator) at the second stage. And so it continues.
Artemy Ragimov writes about himself like this: “After school, I studied intensively at the HTML Academy. I continue to work in 2GIS. A week ago, they launched a huge project in which I was the editor-in-chief – city guides.
Anton Gorodetsky : “I have the biggest event after school – a three-volume interpretation of the Book of Changes under my editorship was published in Eksmo. And recently, the sinologist who translated the interpretation donated it to Putin and Xi Jinping.” Here he writes about it on Facebook.
Igor Subbotin works as an editor at Mad Cats, a magazine and content marketing studio. Sending you greetings from Sri Lanka:
Igor: “It’s just at work. I worked, went out into the garden. A second later, a snake fell on me from a tree. The snake was bitten by a monkey. Which I teased before”
Sveta Fateeva writes in Telegram: “I work as an editor at the Inlingo localization bureau. In June, I made a prototype of a lesson for a textbook, and since August I have been working as an editor-methodologist project of federal significance “
Now Sveta works as an editor-methodologist in a joint project between Rostelecom and Enlightenment. Will make textbooks
But graduates of the second or third stage met at my “Living Councils” on July 12:
From left to right: the head teacher of the school and a graduate of the School of Interns Lera Panina, Sveta Kirpa, Ira Usichenko, Misha Golev and Anton Gorodetsky. Anton did not go to the third step. Photographed by Petya Ryabikov, apparently
Yuri Yarkov , works at Sberbank. I bought a small pizzeria for my wife and works there as a marketer. He maintains the Detochkin InfoBusiness blog with announcements of imaginary courses and webinars.
Spent an ice cream day at a pizzeria, tired as dogs))
After the first step
It also happens that people start working as editors already at the first step.
Natasha Ganetskaya, chief editor of IT Agency: “ Vyacheslav Demish is our author. Writes articles for the agency, helps with materials for clients. Launched his page, where he collected and sorted educational mailings. From the agency: I wrote the rules for the design of Google docs.
Slava Demish says hello and shows off page
Sasha Smolokurova worked and still works at the consulting agency Paper Planes: “Although I didn’t formally change my position during the year and a half of my acquaintance with Glared, the quality of our products and everything we do have grown a lot. I came as a young leader to a course on infostyle, and now I read webinars to clients myself. And Slava (Demish) first worked with us, I found him when he was just starting to study 🙂 Then they let him go to IT Agency”

Asya Repreva wrote in Telegram: “Hi! She studied at the school of editors at the 1st stage. Before the project, I was the CEO of the Trip Secrets travel and development project, now I work in the Bipcar travel companion search service in Mail-ru and manage community marketing.”
Asya: “This is us at Bolotov Dacha recently”
Andrey Bashta studied at the first stage. He writes in Telegram: “After the School of Editors, I worked in Finologist with Misha Smolyanov, as well as in Partikul with Andrey Ilyinsky.” Here is his story about the project for “Partikula” and “Finologist” – it’s great when there is a portfolio with stories about the project.
Andrey on vacation in Poland: “I started traveling”
Tatyana Polovinchenko in Telegram: “Shortly before graduation, I found a new job. The story about the school and the knowledge gained at it helped a lot in this. The salary now differs from the salary on the previous one exactly twice: 70 versus 35. Such cases ”
Konstantin Serov in Telegram: “After I sent the introductory task and started waiting for the initial rating of students, I was contacted by “Contract” and we started talking about red politics. It was December 14th.
Classes at the school started on January 30, and already on February 1, we began work on creating an red policy. Studying at school helped every week, especially “Law” and “Negotiations”.
Thanks to these items, I was able to submit the project on time, and agreed on the implementation of the redaction policy after it was written: I myself drew up an agreement on infostyle. This, in turn, helped me to continue my studies while already living in Thailand.
I can also say about the students. I paid monthly, and for the last month there was not enough money. I talked with Lera Panina, and already mentally said goodbye to the school. I wrote in a chat to say goodbye to everyone, but Zhenya Vorontsova raised the alarm, and the students collectively chipped in to study with me, for which I thank you all! Now I understand how bad it would be to give up at the last step and not finish school.
What hurt the most at school: layout, interfaces. I am still a layman in this, but the level has grown a lot. At least I started to see padding and grid (grid is a revelation).
I think this added value to me as an editor, because I can do small projects completely by myself – write the text, make up the promo page, and connect to CRM.
I dream of getting to the second step with the next set.
On my own behalf, I will add that the red policy of the “Contract” is published on the website rdpk.ru
Kostya: “Now I’m in Novosibirsk, I live in a hostel and I’m working on a new project — a promo page for the wholesale direction of the Kemerovo company 4 Wheels. In the photo, I’m trying to arrange photos according to Gorbunov’s grid”
Mikhail Rykun responded to my invitation in Telegram: “I’m from the first set of the School of Editors. Just finished the first step. But this does not prevent me from doing cool projects.
I have been developing my agency for 4 years, in which we create marketing materials for business: websites, presentations, marketing kits, banners, etc. And a few months ago I joined the startup biznzip.ru”
I’ll add from myself: Mikhail had a great term paper on the choice of bananas.
Mikhail Rykun develops two projects at the same time

This will not be the case for everyone
I must warn you: the completion of the second or third stage does not guarantee that you will immediately automatically receive an invitation to an interesting job.
