Menyaylo's report on support for students from large families caused skepticism among the residents of North Ossetia.

Compensation for part of the expenses for the education of children from large families in colleges and technical schools has been introduced in North Ossetia, reported the head of the republic, Sergey Menyaylo. Local residents, commenting on his report on social media, doubted the accessibility of the new support measure and criticized the limitation on its recipients.

According to the head of North Ossetia, Sergey Menyaylo, the authorities of the republic will compensate part of the expenses of large families for paid education of children in colleges and technical schools.

"The compensation will amount to 20% of the cost of education for each completed academic year. One of the parents can apply for it, and if the student is already 18 years old, he submits the application himself," Menyaylo wrote on August 16 in his Telegram channel.

The post with Menyaylo's message about supporting students from large families was published on August 16 by the Instagram* public northossetia, which has about 392 thousand users. As of 10:50 AM MSK on August 17, the publication received 233 likes and 40 comments.

Some residents doubted that the new support measure would actually be accessible to families. "What support measures? Reading the comments about support, you understand that there is no support as such. People apply for State Services, and in the end, they are denied. Why the denial – there is no answer. This is mockery of people. Parents have hope for at least some help, and in the end..." wrote vhestanova.

"The MFC has not heard of such payments. And there won't be any," noted magkaevm. "Pre-election PR," believes seryi99817.

Commentators also criticized the limited circle of recipients of the compensation. "What can you offer for ordinary families?" asked reg.ina9627. "Will other students not be compensated, those in the medical academy, SOGU, GMI?" inquired zaretagaboeva. "And for those who are not from large families, is it raining from the sky?!" wrote lukrekamil.

Some users positively assessed the new support measure. "Large families count every penny, so this will be a great help for them," wrote beatygirl_albi.

"It's great that children from large families will be able to study where they want, and this support will help parents reduce their financial burden," noted gudya.kris.

As of 10:50 AM MSK on August 17, there are no comments on the website of the Ministry of Labor and Social Development of North Ossetia regarding residents' complaints about the inaccessibility of support measures for large families.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that residents of North Ossetia previously complained about the high financial burden of preparing children for school and insufficient support from the authorities. Thus, on August 16, parents complained about the high cost of preparing children for school and indicated that state assistance does not cover expenses or is not available to all families.
