The State Duma Committee on Construction, Housing and Communal Services proposed that the Ministry of Construction prepare a course for schoolchildren on the organization of the housing and communal services system. Committee Chairman Sergei Pakhomov (United Russia) announced this on his Telegram channel.

On Tuesday, as the deputy said, a working meeting of parliamentarians and the Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Irek Fayzullin took place at the committee site.

“By analogy with the now popular financial literacy courses, we proposed to the Ministry of Construction to jointly develop a cycle of school information sessions on how the housing and communal services system works. From school years, children should understand what housing rights and obligations owners have, how to save on housing and communal services, what tariffs are formed from, ”the publication says.

Pakhomov is sure that such classes would not take much time from children and could take place as part of a standard life safety course. “I am sure that in the long run the effect was very noticeable,” the politician emphasized.

Meanwhile, Parlamentskaya Gazeta told in what cases an increased bill for housing and communal services could come and what could affect the unusual amounts of payments for January.
