“If we analyze the beginning of this academic year, then we must state: no, today there has been no sharp increase in the number of children in family education,” he said.

The deputy minister said that according to statistics in Russia, about 10 thousand families choose this form of education for children.

He noted that "the same figures have been shown for the last few years."

Basyuk also explained that most often the choice of such a form of education is associated with any conditions necessary for the child.

Earlier, the vice-rector of the Financial University under the Russian government, Alexander Safonov, in an interview with OTR, assessed the prospects of distance education in schools.
