Lawyer confirms Dagestani parents' right to demand refunding for school textbooks
Schoolchildren's parents have the right to apply to the school or the Ministry of Education and Sciences of Dagestan with a demand to repay their money spent for buying school textbooks; and in case of refusal they can go to court, Ismail Magomedov, a lawyer asserts. Complaints about the deficit of school textbooks come mainly from Makhachkala and Kizilyurt, an NGO has informed.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that Dagestani schools are facing a shortage of free textbooks. The above ministry ascribes the problem to the lack of money in the republic's budget.
Since the start of the school year, there have been a lot of complaints from parents whose children found themselves without textbooks, Rasul Asad, a blogger, has written in his Telegram channel "Ask Rasul".
Ismail Magomedov, a lawyer, has noted that he is unaware of any regional laws that protect low-income families, as well as children with disabilities in the situation when there are not enough free textbooks for everyone.
