Government sites are often terrifying. What should be the school's website (private or public) so that it is pleasant and convenient to use?
Essentially
The school site has three global types of users: parents, students, and teachers. Therefore, if the management decided to order a turnkey website for the school, you need to put sections for each of these three groups of the target audience in its structure.
Students need a schedule, contacts of important departments, information about the location of classes and classrooms, and so on. Parents are more interested in security information, personal information, and teacher contacts and guidance. Well, teachers need a convenient service for planning work, relevant information on training programs.
The main problem is to find at least one person in the school who will really try and invest his time and energy so that the site for the school turns out to be of high quality, interesting and useful.
Formal requirements
The Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation (its name is constantly changing) has established requirements for the official websites of schools and universities. Now they, in particular, oblige to have the following sections on the site:
- Information about the educational institution
- Basic information
- Structure and governing bodies of the educational organization
- Documents
- Educational standards
- Leadership
- Teaching staff
- Material and technical support and equipment of the educational process
- Paid educational services
- Financial and economic activities
- Vacant places for reception (translation)
