Earlier, the press service of the Ministry of Culture of the Moscow Region reported that in the Moscow Region the number of children studying in institutions of additional education in the sphere of culture has grown by 22% in four years.
The mechanism of public-private partnership is beginning to develop in the system of additional education, said the Minister of Education and Science of Russia Olga Vasilyeva.
She stated this during a meeting on the availability and prospects for the development of additional children’s education, which took place at the educational complex “Vorobyovy Gory”.
The minister added that the private sector is also supported through the mechanism of compensation for interest on loans taken by non-governmental organizations for the implementation of additional education.
“In 2017, the Open Air University received 3 million rubles, because there is a very good result of our joint activities,” said Vasilyeva.
She said that the circle movement is directed within the framework of the implementation of the National Technology Initiative.
“Today there is a clear process of integration of the system of additional and general education, we have many new programs to identify talented and gifted children,” said Vasilieva.
A new season of “Historical Saturdays” for schoolchildren starts in Moscow on September 23, the press service of the Moscow Department of Education reports.
The season will open at VDNKh in the Historical Park “Russia – My History” and in the State Central Museum of Contemporary History of Russia.
“More than 4 thousand Moscow schoolchildren will be able to visit the capital’s museums for free, on the basis of which lessons on who is your hero and why essay history and literature will be held for them in the new academic year in the form of educational and interactive excursion programs, quizzes, quest assignments, master classes,” Center for Patriotic Education and School Sports.
The project partners this academic year were the Victory Museum on Poklonnaya Hill, the State Central Museum of Contemporary History of Russia, the Museum of Moscow, the Historical Park “Russia is my History” at VDNKh, the State Museum of the History of the Gulag and the Moscow State Art Gallery of People’s Artist of the USSR Alexander Shilov.

A subsection of expenses for additional education was introduced in the federal budget, said Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.
The head of the government said this during a meeting on the availability and prospects for the development of additional children’s education, which took place in the educational complex “Vorobyovy Gory”.
Medvedev recalled that the government had previously approved a concept for the development of additional education and an action plan for its implementation from 2015 to 2020. As far as possible, funding for this area is increasing.
“We provide subsidies to non-governmental organizations, on a competitive basis, which are engaged in extracurricular programs. We have many projects that are being implemented using the mechanism of public-private partnerships, with the participation of large companies and corporations. It is important that businesses take on their share of responsibility for the vocational guidance of the younger generation, ”Medvedev said.
The Prime Minister noted that additional education was allocated in a separate priority project and a new model of this education is being created. Public structures, including the Agency for Strategic Initiatives, play an important role in its formation.
“The core of this model should be centers of additional education, children’s technology parks. There are already 25 Quantorium technoparks operating, by the end of the year there will be at least 40. Subsidies for this are provided for in the budget, subsidies were distributed in the amount of 205 million rubles, ”Medvedev said.
He said that the new model is based on an individual approach to the development of each child. A mechanism of “personalized financing” is being introduced, when children have the opportunity to study in extracurricular programs in organizations of any form of ownership.
“Now we are testing this mechanism in nine regions, if it works normally, we will distribute it throughout the country. Such a system requires close cooperation between schools, supplementary education organizations, technology parks, universities and enterprises. Modern innovative forms of education for children, including network ones, should appear so that they are available in the most remote villages, ”Medvedev said.
The Moscow Palace of Pioneers opened in 1936. In August 2014, it was reorganized into the educational complex “Vorobyovy Gory”. The complex has more than 1 thousand children’s circles and sections, about 30 thousand children are systematically involved in them.
A number of companies have allocated more than 1.5 billion rubles for the development of technology parks “Quantorium”, said the Minister of Education and Science of Russia Olga Vasilyeva.
She stated this during a meeting on the availability and prospects for the development of additional children’s education, which took place at the educational complex “Vorobyovy Gory”.
“I want to name the companies – we work with them in different areas of additional education: Rostec, Roskosmos, Russian Railways, Sibur, Rostelecom, Norilsk Nickel, KamAZ, Severstal. Over the two years of implementation of the project of technoparks, these companies have directed over 1.5 billion rubles to develop and strengthen technoparks, ”Vasilyeva said.
Children’s Technoparks “Quantorium” are playgrounds where children can master promising engineering areas, including modern laser technologies, neurotechnologies, unmanned aircraft, programming, 3D modeling and others.
The opening of children’s technoparks “Quantorium” is being implemented within the framework of the priority project “Accessible additional education for children” supervised by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.
By the end of 2018, children will be taught in the Quantoriums in 70 regions of Russia.
Russia is implementing a unique research project for gifted children in St. Petersburg and Hamburg, TASS reports.
Schoolchildren will be able to conduct joint research at the Ecological and Biological Center on Krestovsky Island.
“We have an ecological and biological center on Krestovsky Island, where children could work together in applied science and implement their own projects,” said Zhanna Vorobyova, chair of the St. Petersburg Education Committee.
She also invited educators and methodologists from Hamburg, who support talented children, to get acquainted with new centers for continuing education in the spring of 2018: with the academy of digital talent, with centers for working with gifted children in the humanities, chemical-biological and environmental fields.
