Mironov proposed making clubs and sections for schoolchildren free

MOSCOW, October 10 - RIA Novosti. The leader of the A Just Russia party, head of the Duma faction Sergei Mironov proposed creating a network of free clubs and sections for children in all regions.

“I propose to create a network of free clubs and sections for schoolchildren and preschool children in all regions,” Mironov told RIA Novosti.

First of all, according to him, it is possible to develop areas that are priority for the state - these could be technical clubs, artificial intelligence, robotics or, for example, aircraft modeling.

“We shouldn’t forget about music, drawing, and stagecraft either. They have always been very popular among children with a humanitarian bent, and not everyone is born a technician or a programmer,” noted the party leader.

Mironov believes that additional education should become absolutely free and accessible to every child in Russia, because it is in childhood that interests, aspirations and abilities are formed, which often determine a person’s future in adulthood.

“It is fundamentally important to ensure that clubs and sections are within walking distance. Not only in schools, but also, for example, on the first floors of residential buildings instead of numerous cafes, delivery points, and shops,” he added.
