September 2, 2014. Over a thousand children of Uralvagonzavod Corporation’s member enterprises’ employees started school this year.

‘In preparation for the Knowledge Day, every member enterprise came up with some presents and festive events for the children so that the young students can remember this day for the rest of their lives. For one, the first-graders, children of Kamensk-Uralsky Foundry Plant workers, got a very remarkable boost at the beginning of the school year – the company trade union organized a special event on the eve of the big day,’ the corporation’s press service says.

A theater show will also be held for the school-starting children of Chelyabinsk-based ChTZ-Uraltrac’s employees at the company theater. Some 200 kids will take part in the traditional company event, while their parents will get subsidies to set their children up for school.

Omsk-based Omsktransmash currently employs parents of eighty-nine first-graders: on September 1, these workers are given a day off, and all the families getting their children ready for school for the first time were provided with a 1,000-ruble subsidy.
