The State Duma proposed to pay money to parents of schoolchildren before the school year.

      On July 25, 2025, at 13:47 [146] Society The State Duma has developed a bill that provides for payments to parents of schoolchildren before the start of the academic year. Yaroslav Nilov, head of the Committee on Labor, Social Policy, and Veterans Affairs, announced this in an interview with Channel "360." According to him, such a support measure is necessary for the purchase of school supplies, clothing, and other essentials. The bill has already been sent to the government for review. Nilov recalled the president's initiative, which instructed sending families 10,000 rubles before the start of the school year. This measure received positive feedback from citizens. "We believe it would be legally correct to formalize this, and to provide such support to families with children before school," Nilov stated. He emphasized that this would help parents prepare for school, acquire the necessary materials, and purchase school uniforms. Implementing the bill will require additional expenses, which will need to be considered when forming next year's budget. It is also important to develop criteria for assessing need so that assistance reaches families that truly require it. For example, families with high incomes do not need extra funds for preparing children for school, the authors of the initiative clarified. NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" has a Telegram channel.
