The Commission for Exceptional Situations (CES) of Chisinau municipality took a decision concerning the organization and functioning of groups with extended hours in primary and secondary schools. The groups will work based on temporary regulations, which provide that the monthly fee for groups with a program extended by three hours will be 360 lei, while for groups extended by six hours – 690 lei, IPN reports.
“In this connection, in response to parents’ requests to allow leaving their children at school after the end of ordinary classes, so as to avoid leaving children in primary and secondary schools (cycle I and II) unsupervised, while the parents are at work, and given the impossibility of covering with municipal budget funds the expenses associated with the work of classes/groups with extended hours, a mechanism on the work of classes/groups with extended hours needs to be instituted even if their financing is not within the remit of the second-level LPA,” CES Chisinau’s decision reads.
The fees for such services will be paid by the 15th date of each month, according to a bill. The financial resources collected from students’ parents and those accumulated from other legal sources will be managed only through the Treasury Account of the educational institution.
According to authorities, a total of 38,679 students attend primary schools in the municipality of Chisinau. Before the New Year, about 30,000 students were enrolled in groups with extended hours financed with municipal budget funds.
