All the money for these institutions, as it is stated in the explanatory note to the document, to be allocated from “the respective budgets of the budgetary system of the Russian Federation” of government bodies in the regions and urban municipalities. Funds should be transferred in the amount necessary to ensure children learning general education programs within the established state standards.
Interest in increasing the number of private kindergartens is expected to grow, which means the queues to be reduced and the mothers to have a chance to turn up to work. But if the government gives private owners the money it will have a right to demand appropriate quality.
