According to Part 1 of Article 22 of Federal Law No. 273-FZ “On Education in the Russian Federation,” an educational organization is created in the form established by civil law for non-profit organizations, the only entity that can approve the charter of an educational organization is the founder.

According to paragraph 1 of part 2 of Article 25 “Charter of an educational organization” of Federal Law No. 273-FZ, the charter specifies the type of educational organization. The full name of the educational organization must contain an indication of the organizational and legal form and type, in accordance with Part 5 of Article 23 “Type of educational organization” of Federal Law No. 273-FZ "On education in the Russian Federation". According to paragraph 2 of part 2 of Article 23 “Type of educational organization” of Federal Law No. 273-FZ "On education in the Russian Federation", type GBOU School No. 1797 - “General educational organization”, with the main purpose of activity - general educational activities in the educational program of primary general, basic general and (or) secondary general education, with the right to carry out educational activities that are not the main goal (clause 2 of part 4 Art. 23 Federal Law No. 273-FZ "On education in the Russian Federation").

Part 6 of Article 23 “Type of educational organization” of Federal Law No. 273-FZ "On education in the Russian Federation" it is possible to use a name indicating the specificity of the educational activity, or additional functions performed.

So what should the name be?

In everyday life, it is generally accepted that a school is an educational organization in which an educational program is implemented that corresponds to the main goal of the activity, currently corresponding to the Federal State Educational Standard, the loads meet the requirements established for a certain age, the student’s free time is distributed so that it is enough to master standard programs. While the gymnasium is considered an elite educational institution, due to pre-profile preparation and in-depth study of subjects, it provides a “universal and multifaceted” education. The lyceum is completely focused on specific universities and prepares students for admission to them, involving the teaching staff of these universities in the implementation of the educational program with an emphasis on professional disciplines.

Taking into account the above and the regulatory framework, it should be noted that educational organizations, regardless of the name (be it a school, gymnasium or lyceum), indicating the specifics of educational activities, essentially implement unified educational programs that meet the uniform requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard, preparing the child for successful state final certification is the ultimate goal of any efforts of teaching staff, parents and children. At the same time, schools offer the entire range of “techniques” of gymnasiums and lyceums, namely: pre-vocational training, in-depth study of individual subjects, an individual educational plan, preparation for studying at specific universities, teaching children with individual educational needs, and much more. other. The teams of these schools employ highly qualified professionals. Schools are equipped with modern equipment that allows them to use the educational information space and resources of the city of Moscow.

In other words, a modern Moscow school, interesting to parents and children, has long outgrown the level of yesterday's gymnasiums and lyceums. Its doors are open to all children whose success in life, as well as the indicator of the professionalism of the team, as a feature of the implementation of educational activities, is determined by the high results of the state final certification. And this is not affected in any way by the name of the educational organization. What was previously considered a universal, multifaceted, high-level education has become the standard for a “yard school within walking distance.”

So what can, even should, gymnasiums and lyceums offer today in order to be called by right? What kind of education is different from what the school offers? And let’s return to the question: “What name should a modern educational organization have?” School!

DOCUMENTS FOR REVIEW

What kind of losses will this cause?

The beginning of the new 2017/2018 academic year was marked by a surprise that seemed extremely unpleasant to the parents of Moscow schoolchildren. As it turned out, from September 1, such concepts as “gymnasium”, “lyceum”, “school with in-depth study” of a particular subject and even “correctional school” completely disappear from the everyday life of the capital’s secondary education, and all educational organizations of this level, regardless depending on the quality of teaching and the degree of immersion in the subject, they become “just” schools. “What did they fight for!? - mothers and fathers, who had difficulty placing their offspring in prestigious gymnasiums and lyceums, cried out when they learned about the news. “And what will happen to our children’s educational programs now?” “MK” forwarded these questions to the director of the lyceum... sorry, “simple” school No. 1561 Valery Pazynin.

— Valery Vyacheslavovich, how can one explain the refusal of the capital’s education system from such statuses of general education organizations as a gymnasium, a lyceum and a school with in-depth study of certain subjects?

— The desire to provide all Moscow schools with the same opportunities that lyceums and gymnasiums had! At the same time, I would like to emphasize: the decision to equalize their opportunities was made not now, but several years ago, when the standard of all Moscow schools was raised to the level of lyceums and gymnasiums. Until now, only the names have been preserved as a tribute to tradition. And now they too have been brought into line with the principle of the right of every child to quality education, regardless of where they live and the school to which they are assigned.

— Didn’t the lyceums and gymnasiums find the deprivation of this status offensive?

- Not at all! For example, in our organization - Lyceum No. 1561, which has now become School No. 1561 - we believe that there is no difference in the names. In terms of history, the vast majority of gymnasiums and lyceums were originally called schools. So there is nothing offensive in returning this status. And Moscow education itself has now become a brand.

- Well, let's say. But parents of children from gymnasiums and lyceums, “demoted” to “simple” schools, are very worried!

— Yes, some parents have a common feeling that the lyceum is a school of an advanced level. However, in practice, we all saw that some lyceums did not provide quality education, and even took last places in ratings, actually misleading parents with their official status. But a number of “simple” schools entered the top 20. And deservedly so. So quality education does not depend on the title.

— How did the parents of your school react to the name change?

“At first, in the summer, before we clarified everything, parents really had questions, and some of them interpreted the decision to change the name as a downgrade of the status of our educational organization or as a refusal to study in advanced programs. But our explanations completely satisfied them. Moreover, people go to an educational organization not for the name, but for the teachers and educational programs, and all of them have remained unchanged. As a result, now we no longer see the anxiety of parents in our school.

— But what exactly does the renaming of former gymnasiums and lyceums give to the city education system?

“This step forms in the minds of Muscovites that each of our schools provides maximum opportunities for the development of each child. At the same time, the unification of educational organizations does not contradict the focus on individual educational routes for each capital schoolchild. It’s just that if earlier in Moscow you could find the school you needed, now you can find what you need in every school, and for this you don’t have to go to the other end of the city. All opportunities are equally available at any educational point in the city. This is how we understand the unification of education in Moscow.

Starting from the 2017-2018 academic year, all distinctive features that were previously present will be removed from the names of schools. All schools will be called the same without words such as “special”, “correctional”, “gymnasium”, “lyceum”, “school with advanced study”, etc. From now on it will just be “School”.

From September 1, 2017, concepts such as “ gymnasium», « lyceum", "" of this or that object and even " correctional school“, and all educational organizations at this level, regardless of the quality of teaching and the degree of immersion in the subject, become “just” schools.

How can we now find out what are the features of a contrat school and how can we now choose a place for our child to study? Undoubtedly, each of the schools will remain the same as it was, i.e. "with depth" or "specialization". But why was everything so simplified in the name and why was it done?

Will changes in the name affect the quality of training?

History of the issue.

Why did the unification of educational institutions occur?

The renaming “was dictated by the desire to provide all Moscow schools with the same opportunities that lyceums and gymnasiums had.”

The decision to equalize the opportunities of educational organizations was made several years ago. Titles " gymnasium», « lyceum», « magnet school"remained only as a tribute to tradition, but now they are brought into line with the principle of the right of every child to a quality education, regardless of the place of residence and the school to which he is attached.

Quality education does not depend on the title

Some parents have a common feeling that the lyceum is a school of an advanced level.

However, in practice, we all saw that some lyceums did not provide quality education, and even took last places in ratings, actually misleading parents with their official status.

But a number of “simple” schools entered the top 20. And deservedly so. So quality education does not depend on the title.”

Unification of the capital's schools as confirmation of equal educational opportunities for every child

This step forms in the minds of Muscovites that each of our schools provides maximum opportunities for the development of each child.

At the same time, the unification of educational organizations does not contradict the focus on individual educational routes for each capital schoolchild.

It’s just that if earlier in Moscow you could find the school you needed, now you can find what you need in every school, and for this you don’t have to go to the other end of the city.

All opportunities are equally available at any educational point in the city. This is exactly how it should be perceived unification of education in Moscow.

Unification of education- bringing curriculum and teaching methods to unified standards (FSES)

Federal State Educational Standard (FSES)- a set of mandatory requirements for education of a certain level and (or) for a profession, specialty and area of ​​training, approved by the federal executive body exercising the functions of developing state policy and legal regulation in the field of education]. For educational standards adopted before 2009, the name “State Educational Standards” was applied. Until 2000, before the adoption of state standards for each level of general education and specialty (area of ​​training) of vocational education, within the framework of the general state educational standard, state requirements were applied to the minimum content of the level of graduate training for each level of education and specialty.

“So we have become a year older, and the time is coming...” I look at our Maxim and don’t believe that this year he will go to first grade. The boy grew up smart: he reads fluently, counts and writes well. Therefore, my husband and I just can’t decide what to choose: a gymnasium or a regular school?

School or gymnasium for a child: that is the question?

In the gymnasium, where I wanted to send my child from the very beginning, the testing was successful. Maxim was accepted, but we were warned that his serious workload would begin in first grade. This bothered me a little, and just in case, I enrolled my son in a high school, which is a three-minute walk from our house. The school is good and we really liked the teacher. Now I'm struggling with a question: Maybe you shouldn’t put so much pressure on a boy from elementary school, but it’s easier to send him to a regular school? Although “our son is a high school student” sounds much more beautiful than “schoolboy.”

School and gymnasium - these two words are known to everyone, but not everyone knows where they came from.

“School” is translated from Greek as “leisure.” But in our understanding, a school is an educational institution with a specific educational program.

The word “gymnasium” is also of Greek origin and literally means “room for gymnastics.” Yes, once upon a time the ancient Greeks probably only practiced gymnastics there. The modern gymnasium is this is, by and large, the same school with an approved program, but allowing children to receive more in-depth knowledge in all subjects.

Is it worth sending your child to a public school?

So what should we choose: gymnasium or school? My son’s future is at stake, so I didn’t dare act at random, but decided to understand in detail the pros and cons of both educational institutions. I started from a regular district school.

High school advantage is its close location to the house and accessibility. To enroll, you do not need to undergo any additional testing, just bring a package of documents and that’s it, your child will be enrolled in first grade without further ado.

The workload on students in schools does not exceed regulatory requirements. Schoolchildren have more free time than high school students. The general education school program is suitable specifically for those children who additionally seriously study at a music, art or sports school.

Alas, I found many more disadvantages at school than advantages.

• Class occupancy. Sometimes up to 40 people can sit at the desks. It turns out that the teacher is simply not able to pay attention to each child during the lesson. Therefore, many parents, almost from elementary school, are looking for tutors for their children in various subjects.
• Children often cannot attend extracurricular activities. This is to blame not only for the lack of qualified teaching staff, but also for the lack of free classrooms. Alas, many schools in the country still work in two shifts.
• Discipline problem. Children from different social strata study in schools, so fights and damage to school property have long become commonplace. Many young and promising teachers refuse to work in schools precisely because of poor student behavior.
• The eternal problem of municipal schools is poor funding. Because of this, renovations have been going on there for years, the furniture in the classrooms is old, there is draft from the windows, etc.

So everything became clear to me with school. Now I will also analyze in detail the advantages and disadvantages of the gymnasium.

Is the gymnasium such a good place to study?

A gymnasium is a secondary educational institution that offers a higher level of education than a school.

The gymnasium is considered an elite institution, it would seem that it should not have any shortcomings. But I dug around and still found them.

• A student is enrolled in a gymnasium only after he has successfully completed a special testing.

• Rarely are people lucky enough that the educational institution they are interested in is located close to home, remoteness of the gymnasium depending on where you live is considered the norm.
• At the end of fourth grade, students take serious exams and the fifth includes only those who have successfully passed them. This is a huge stress for a still fragile child’s body.
• Money. Studying in a gymnasium (even a state school) will cost parents much more than in a regular school. You may have to pay for additional training, textbooks, etc.
• Increased study load and high requirements for academic performance. It happens that a student fails to cope, classmates begin to laugh at him, and then the child has a problem with self-esteem.

The disadvantages are significant, but one thing pleases: there are few of them and they are completely covered by a large number of advantages.

• Yes, n The workload in a gymnasium is much higher than in a regular school, but it is small class sizes not exceeding 20 students , allows you to find an individual approach to each of them.
• The curriculum at the gymnasium is rich and varied. In gymnasiums, in addition to general specialized classes, there are narrow specialized ones. In them, students have Opportunity to study in depth any subject of your choice. To study some subjects, classes are divided into two or even three subgroups.
• Staffing with teaching staff is 100%, and some gymnasiums even have a reserve. The majority of teachers are teachers of the highest category who have passed a competitive selection.
• Students gain additional knowledge through various electives. Despite the fact that many additional lessons are not free, parents do not skimp on paying for them. Children, teachers and parents have one goal - preparation for entering a higher educational institution.
• Much attention is paid to discipline. In gymnasiums, children are looked after better than in schools, so “loud” stories and scandals happen there quite rarely.
• The material support of the gymnasium is excellent. All classes are equipped with modern computers with mandatory Internet access. The rooms are filled with all the necessary laboratory and demonstration equipment. The exterior and interior of the premises are in decent condition.
• Various attributes are also of great importance. In the gymnasium it is customary to maintain a “corporate spirit”, expressed, for example, in a uniform uniform, emblem and anthem. Some gymnasiums even have their own excursion buses.

Why did we choose a gymnasium for our son and not a school?

Despite the fact that my son’s studies in the gymnasium will significantly affect our financial situation, my husband and I, after weighing all the pros and cons, came to the conclusion that Maksimka will still become a high school student.

Why? I won’t go into detail, I’ll just list the advantages that were decisive for us.

1. The secondary school curriculum is limited to general education standards, and The gymnasium program includes in-depth study of natural, humanitarian or mathematical subjects. Gymnasiums have a high level of preparation, which means that a gymnasium student has a better chance of entering a university than a school student.
2. The school's teaching staff is often understaffed. Cases when a Trudovik simultaneously teaches physical education, and a chemistry teacher teaches biology, are, unfortunately, not uncommon, and In a gymnasium, such a combination is unacceptable.
3. A municipal school teaches students one foreign language, usually English. It's no secret that they are bad at it. All parents know: if they want their child to know English, then they cannot do it without the help of a tutor. In gymnasiums, in addition to the compulsory language, another language (French or German) is additionally studied. The first language is introduced there from the second grade, and the second - from the fifth.
4. In an ordinary district school there are a large number of children from “dysfunctional” families, many “difficult” ones, who are registered in the children’s room of the police. As sad as it may be, they bring “street” negativity into the classroom with all the ensuing consequences. You can blame me for this, but I don’t want Maxim to communicate with such children.

So, my husband and I decided that a gymnasium was more suitable for our son, but this does not mean that regular high schools are bad and only “losers” can study there.

No, I don't think so at all. But unfortunately, in our society there is still an opinion that children who study in secondary schools have much less chance of entering a good higher education institution. I think this opinion is wrong, because everything depends solely on the abilities of the student himself and his desire to learn.

Dear parents, my advice to you: approach the choice of educational institution individually, based on your child’s capabilities, inclinations and interests. It is very important that the place that you have chosen for him, and where he will receive his first education, will help him to realize himself in adulthood. After all, it is precisely this serious mission that is entrusted to both ordinary high schools and prestigious gymnasiums.
