Schools to get less money from the government for the next academic year

The Gminas say they have had too little money to spend on education this academic year. However, the Public Affairs Institute (ISP) says next year may be worse. The institute has analyzed the financial situation of four gminas and says the cost of a school-year for one rural child is zl. 3,469 and for a major-city child it is zl 3,185. This year, the state allocated education subsidies of zl. 2,802 per rural-child's education and zl. 2,185 for per city-child's education. Additional money for education is provided by the gminas out of their own budgets. Next year, education subsidies will be calculated differently. (Zycie, page 7) A.Z.
