First-year spending is still rising! Parents can ask the state for help

Parents can get up to 34.1 thousand crowns a year for first-year equipment from the state. Exercise books, stationery, a briefcase and more will cost an average of 6,240 crowns for pupils entering the first grade.

“The flat fee, for which schools buy for students, for example, workbooks for first-graders or notebooks for writing, will reach an average of 1000 crowns, similar to last year. The equipment of the pencil case will cost two hundred, plus textbook covers and notebooks, for 100. Slippers, company shoes and sports shoes for the gym will cost a total of CZK 1,000, “described economist Lukáš Kovanda.

There are also the cost of lunches, about 700 crowns a month, and a party, which is about 150 crowns a month. Despite the price increase of more than three percent, the cost of schoolchildren is increasing by about 1.6 percent year on year.

The employment office is in charge of helping the parents with the equipment. “It covers expenses for school supplies, hobby groups, lunches in the school canteen, but also expenses for school trips or schools in nature. For some of these items, this year’s year-on-year rise will be more pronounced, as the current significant rise in food prices puts pressure on rising school lunches, “Kovanda explained.

By a dose called emergency immediate assistance parents can apply to the employment office in the place of permanent residence. “In the application, the client describes the social and property situation of the family, the extent of the necessary required costs and their estimated price. The applicant also documents the list of aids required by specific schools for students,” explained Kateřina Beránková, spokeswoman for the Labor Office.

“The Labor Office individually assesses the income and overall social and property conditions of the family. At the same time, it takes into account the issue of inclusion of the child in the children’s team. After overall assessment, if the Labor Office of the Czech Republic grants the benefit, determines the amount of the benefit “added Beránková.

If the applicant proves everything in order, the office will decide on the benefit within eight to ten days. “In the event that something needs to be added or modified, then the Labor Office of the Czech Republic will invite the applicant to do so. Then the administrative proceedings may be protracted. However, it still applies that the Labor Office of the Czech Republic does its best to , “Beránková assured. Information can be found at any employment office as well as at this site.
