23 of August. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev advised the teachers who are unhappy with their wages, to change jobs.
Dmitry Medvedev, responding to a question about why teachers ' salaries are lower than law enforcement agencies, advised them to go into business. "I am often asked by teachers and teachers. This calling, if you want to earn money, there are lots of wonderful places where you can do it faster and better. The same business," - said Dmitry Medvedev. The editors of the "Political class" has decided to ask the opinions of teachers on this Board, and picked up available for teachers jobs on the labour market of Russia.
"I hope that our government still needs educated and competent people", - said the tutor in a kindergarten of the city of Khabarovsk Anna Klimova.
"Of course it's frustrating when the government adheres to such point of view. I'm afraid that with the current society will soon not that good, no teachers and teachers not staying here, " supports the position of the first interlocutor is a teacher of Russian language and literature Galina Primacy. – People need something to live, families to feed. And then wonder where the corruption!".
In the first quarter of 2016, the average wage of teachers was 31 993 roubles. These statistics included not only public but also private schools of Russia. Above all the salaries of the teachers in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous district is approximately 69 thousand rubles, the Altai region – 17 thousand rubles.
Since 2011, teachers have started to transfer to the new system of remuneration, it is to raise the prestige of the profession and attract young specialists.
We asked the math teacher of the Khabarovsk grammar school Alice kostinoy, which determines the salary of the teacher. She explained that on a teacher's salary is affected by many factors. "It all depends on the load category (no category / first / higher), experience level (beginner / middle / senior), objects. Then comes the calculation of the additional load. For example, I am editor of the school newspaper – there is a small stipend. Any activity in the school additional charge".
The analysis of the labor market of the city of Khabarovsk shows that salary indeed depends on the load of the subject. For example, secondary school No. 51 invites you to the work of primary school teachers, while offering wages ranging from 22 thousand roubles, the music Reach the Music school is seeking a teacher for piano and vocal, offering a salary up to 45 thousand rubles.
In the list of requirements are usually:
- Pedagogical education;
- Mastery of the material;
- Experience;
- The certificate of no criminal record;
- Medical certificate.
A bonus of this work is a great summer vacation paid by the government.
However, what teachers agree with Dmitry Medvedev, is that the teaching profession is a calling. Natalia Korshunova did not think about the teaching profession, getting a philological education, but on the first teaching practice I felt that she in his place, that she really likes this job. "Most of all I am pleased with the success of my students, not only academically, but also in other spheres of activity, their smiles and respect me as a teacher", - she told to the correspondent "the Political class"
A study conducted by the National University Higher school of Economics in schools in Kaliningrad and Novgorod regions, shows that the desire to change the profession among teachers occurs because of the level of wages and the dynamics of charge and load. If you have enough money for the purchase of durable goods, people continue to work in the school.
What kind of work is available to teachers
The work, accessible to teachers without a change of profession:
- online teaching (e.g., through Skype);
- tutoring.
"The main thing that you need to "forget" after teaching in the school is on a didactic tone. It's one thing when you're working with a class where you have to maintain discipline, and another thing – when you work with students individually. For school teachers this is probably the most difficult problem", - told the correspondent of "Political class" English teacher, currently involved in the online tutoring, Dmitry Stepanov.
However, teachers can achieve great success in areas different from education. For example, Inna Kuznetsova, a Russian who became Vice-President of IBM, previously taught calculus at MSU.
