The Crimean village was left without buses to Artek. Children for hours get to school and back along the federal highway

With the advent of the new leadership, new rules appeared at Artek: the skulls were forbidden to the school territory, the lessons were cut to 40 minutes, free school buses that ply directly from Yalta and Partenit were canceled. Now the children are forced to get to school by public transport and on foot on the highway, where they can easily knock them down. The leadership of the School and the authorities of Crimea is not answered by requests to understand the situation. “New” spoke with the parents of the students (at their request, all names were changed due to the possible pressure on children from the leadership).

Every weekday 10-year-old Anya, a girl from the Crimean village of Partenit, wakes up at 5:30. Having washed and assembled textbooks, she puts on a white shirt with a blue collar with the inscription "Artek" and runs out of the house to catch the first morning minibus.

A small bus, along with Anya, who miraculously managed to push through a crowded salon, leaves from the stop at 6:50. For several minutes it loopes among the hills and cliffs covered with evergreen cypresses, along the serpentine to the south -bank highway.

Anya leaves the minibus and runs out the lively track along the pedestrian crossing to catch another bus or trolleybus that is traveling from Alushta.

After four stops, she leaves in the village of Krasnokamenka and walks along the highway to the turning ring - from there at 7:50 a free school bus leaves to Artek.

After an hour and a half, the girl gets to the first lesson, replacing three vehicles before.

“Previously, when the children walked in Artec shirts, everyone felt pride,” says Ani Natalya mother. - And now they come up to them and ask with pity: “Well, poor, got it?”

Before the current school year, the path of a girl and another 58 students from home to school was much easier. A special bus takes them to Artek directly from the village, simultaneously taking children from other settlements. Since September 1, their organized carrion from partenite and Yalta was canceled. Parents warned about this in the last days of August.

“I have no right to carry children from all cities of the Russian Federation,” said Artek Director Konstantin Fedorenko, adding that who does not like new rules, can be transferred to schools on a territorial basis.

According to him, the supply of small residents of partenite to school and back costs about 4.5 million rubles a year. Artek financing was reduced, Fedorenko said. In addition, in December the school will have to write off 10 buses and hire a carrier.

Parents of the students did not believe that 4 km to Krasnokamenka cost that kind of money. Since financing is not enough, they thought, let Artek organize the safe transportation of children to school for a fee. The answer how much it will cost, the parents have not received so far: “We will pay. So you count, name the figure! ”

Instead, they were given the phones of four Crimean bus carriers: two of them are not responding to calls, the other works in Feodosia (153 km from partenite), another offered his services for 8 thousand rubles a day.

In the Ministry of Education, parents were said that Partenit is part of the Alushta urban district, which means “there are no legal grounds for transporting children to school and back” ( Artek himself is part of the Yalta city district - ed. ). The Ministry of Education, Science and Youth of Crimea in its response set out in detail the schedule of new bus routes, noting that the safety of students at a stop in Krasnokamenka is carried out by representatives of the Russian Guard. But he did not comment herself the request of the parents.

“Raikin has a scene where he plays the boss. They send him a telegram: send us the pumps. He thinks where to get them? And then he decides to send something else, ”says Catherine, the mother of one of the students. - We have the same story. We asked about one thing, and in response to us: “The hens are restrained. Send a new telescope. "

“What awaits the leadership? The death of the child, when will he go through the track? What needs to be done to be heard? - asks Natalya. - Once I wrote in my parental chat about this problem. The teacher asked me not to clog the correspondence with such messages. ”

Until today, no one of the Artek leadership or officials decided the question with the Partenit buses. Some parents who do not have their own car are forced to call a taxi for children for several thousand rubles a month. Others at their own peril and risk send them by public transport. Children spend about three hours a day (parents - 2500 rubles a month) to get to school and vice versa on their own. If the child misses the morning minibus, then he will not get to study, because the transport travels with breaks at least half an hour.

On Saturdays, children from partenite are completely impossible to join the route.

“There is a decree on additional education, but it is unavailable for partenites. For example, the French language lessons go on Saturdays, but it is impossible to get to school on this day, ”says the student of the student Natalya. - My daughter told me: “How I would like to go into French, but not to get!” And she burst into tears. ”

Due to the changes in the schedule of children to school, the lessons began to begin later and were reduced by five minutes. Parents were not too lazy and considered that in a year students lose in total more than three weeks of study time.

Adult discontent caused another rule that appeared with the advent of the new leadership. Parents used to go to the territory of “Artek” for the passage of the “Artek”. From the new academic year, the pass was canceled (though two weeks before the alleged visit, you can order a one -time pass). The school directorate explained this decision by the need for the "anti -terrorist security of the institution."

“It turns out that now parents are the main terrorists? - the mothers of the students are indignant.

- We really love Artek, but we do not like the current leadership. Until we wrote a single complaint. We just ask us to hear us. ”

Elizaveta Barinova, especially for the "new".

PS

Novaya sent a request to the Ministry of Education of Crimea and Artek with a request to clarify the situation with school buses.

REFERENCE

The secondary school "Artek International Children's Center" (in the past, the most famous pioneer camp of the USSR) is located on the southern coast of Crimea. Two contingents study here - shift and permanent (children from Gurzuf, Yalta, Alushta, Partenite and other settlements).

Artek positions itself as a school for gifted children. To get there, you need to go through the selection. In each parallel, one class is gained, but this year an exception was made - 60 students went to the first class at once. Konstantin Fedorenko, who was appointed to the post of director this year, explained this by the fact that the school “continues close interaction” with the leadership of Crimea: “Within the framework of the grant this year, financing of the school with a permanent contingent was increased, thanks to this the number of Crimean schoolchildren increased to 330 people.”

Parents of students see this contradiction: it turns out that financing is increased, but it is not enough for buses. The words of the Minister of Education of Crimea Natalia Goncharova, who stated in August, also seem ambiguous to them: “By the end of the year, we will acquire another 27 new buses. Then we will only talk about updating our fleet. Need is 100%closed. ”
