Abstract: The information bulletin continues a series of publications of the National Research University Higher School of Economics on the results of monitoring of education markets and organizations. The bulletin presents the analysis of data of schoolchildren’s parents survey collected in the framework of the 14th wave of the monitoring in 2016-2017. The accessibility of education (possibility of choosing a school, selection upon admission and transition from one education level to another one, coverage by additional education) is analyzed on the basis of assessments by parents of schoolchildren studying at schools of different types and organizational and legal forms. Involvement is seen as participation of parents in a child's school life, exerting the influence on the accessibility of services and educational outcomes. The conclusion is drawn that the barriers to accessibility of basic and supplementary programs are not significant and have been lowering. However the accessibility of high-level programs and quality of supplementary educational programs for children differ depending upon the socio-economic status of the families and the territory of residence. The outcomes of the research show that parents began to approach the choice of the school more consciously, but most parents are not sufficiently involved in school life. Parents’ strategies in respect of choosing a school and participating in school life vary depending upon the socio-economic and cultural level of the family, type of school and school location, educational achievements of schoolchildren.
