“The usual school kit includes a pencil case, a satchel, and sports and school uniforms. Such a set will cost parents an average of 3,180 rubles, "- RIA Novosti quoted a statement.

The experts clarified that the average price of a portfolio is 1150 rubles, and a school uniform is 1060 rubles.

Taking into account the purchase of equipment for distance learning, the cost of preparing a child for the new school year increases significantly (more than 20 thousand rubles). 

“This set, in addition to the basic items from the usual set, also includes a laptop and a computer chair - essential items for organizing home schooling in 2020,” says the study.

Earlier, analysts from the IT-company "Platform OFD" said that the average check for a first-grader enrollment increased by 55%.
