Factors of choice of educational organization for children in the system of parental strategies

– The following parameters are important for parents (81 %) who do not plan to transfer the child to another educational institution: “neighborhood school”, “qualified teachers”, “school assigned to the registration address”, “there are diffe- rent additional education options (excursions, study groups, study sections)”, “good psychological environment, positive relations among children, between teachers and students”;

– The following parameters are significant for the parents (2,6 %) who found it difficult to answer the question about transferring the child to another educational institution: “neighborhood school” and “school assigned to the registration address”, “it is free”, “we selected a particular teacher”, “the elder brother/sister of the child studied in that school”.

Conclusion: “advice of friends and acquaintances”, “communication with school- children or their parents”, “school's website” are important information sources for all parents when they select the school.

Conclusion

The study reveals a big difference in the factors influencing the choice of educa- tional strategies in families with children going to public or private schools. Parents of children from private and public schools prioritize different sources of information for choosing a school or educational format and are focused on different objectives when constructing their strategies.

Parents' satisfaction with the quality of their children's education does not de- pend on the type of school. It is high in most families surveyed. At the same time, the intention to change the place or format of education is much higher among the parents whose children go to private schools. This fact correlates with the higher rate of children's dissatisfaction with the private schools and the tuition fees families have to pay in private educational establishments.

The results of the study show that such factor as the “Location of the educational establishment” significantly impacts the choice of educational strategy.

Parents of elementary school students and low-income families pay much more attention to school proximity, home-school distance, residency registration, qualified teaching staff, club availability, and a good psychological climate.

Parents of high school students whose children often study far from home, have other preferences. They prioritize advanced curriculum, availability of supplemen- tary education, individualized curriculum pathways, high school ranking, quality training, sociability of school administrators and an informative school website. If there is a child (children) with disabilities in a family, parents tend to choose private educational establishments in other districts.

Another factor determining the educational strategy is general intelligence of children. Significant differences are found among parents of primary and high school students.

A big proportion of parents of elementary school students is on parental leave. Such parents are actively involved in their children's education and upbringing. Home-school distance, supplementary educational establishments, and a certain primary school teacher are of great importance for them. Parents of high school students pay much attention to the educational process itself, teachers' qualifica- tions, advanced curriculum, preparation for graduation exams, and psychological climate at school. They choose a school without any reference to the place of resi- dence.

Thus, parents' evaluation of the quality of their children's education is rather in- teresting. The respondents claim that education quality is very important for primary and high school students, whereas it is not the most significant parameter for parents of junior school students.
