New positions will be introduced in schools of ten Russian regions from March 1, 2021 - advisers to directors for educational work.

They will be entitled to an additional monthly surcharge of 15 thousand rubles.

This was told in the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation.

"In ten pilot regions, starting from March 1, 2021, new positions will be introduced - advisors to directors for educational work with an additional monthly surcharge of 15 thousand rubles," said Minister of Education Sergei Kravtsov at the "Business Breakfast" in the "Rossiyskaya Gazeta".

He noted that we are talking about "very important support for both teachers and those who deal with schoolchildren precisely in terms of organizing upbringing."

Along with this, Kravtsov recalled that from September 1, 2020, all class teachers - 810 thousand monthly - already receive a bonus of 5 thousand rubles.

“At the same time, we are monitoring the preservation of all previous regional payments in this part,” the minister emphasized.

Kravtsov also spoke about tracking the situation with teachers' salaries.

He noted that it was possible to bring the salary of teachers in each region to the average salary for the subject.

According to Kravtsov, the ministry, in accordance with the prime minister's instructions, is developing proposals to establish uniform requirements for teachers' wages.

“Let's see both the base rate and the allowances in the education system.

We carry out this work together with teachers, together with the trade union, so as not to violate in any case anyone's rights.

This issue will be one of the priorities for us next year, ”the minister explained.

According to him, the task of this work is to convey to each teacher information about the components of his income and available allowances.

Kravtsov noted that all this "should be as transparent as possible."

Recall that in November, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree on expanding support for class teachers, while teachers retain all the previously established allowances.

According to the prime minister's decree, teachers of absolutely all Russian schools will receive payment for classroom guidance.

The government's statement noted that the remuneration of 5 thousand rubles will now also be awarded to teachers from educational institutions subordinate to federal executive bodies, for example, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Emergencies.

“The decision on additional support for teachers in the form of payments for class leadership was made on behalf of the President.

During his annual address to the Federal Assembly, the head of state noted that such teachers are entrusted with a huge responsibility for the daily education of schoolchildren.

And this responsibility requires special support, ”the government said at the time.

Earlier, the bonus for class teachers in the amount of 5 thousand rubles was considered by the Accounts Chamber as part of the study of the impact of government measures on the growth of incomes of Russians and the reduction of poverty.

As part of this work, monthly payments to certain categories of the population, an increase in salaries for public sector employees, an allowance for class teachers in the amount of 5 thousand rubles, as well as payments to families with children, an increase in unemployment benefits to the minimum wage, and social allowances to pensions were analyzed.

The ministry stated that the measures considered lead to a decrease in the poverty level by 2.32 percentage points.

The importance of allowances was also noted by Vladimir Putin.

On October 5, the President held a meeting with teachers and students of pedagogical universities.

The meeting was devoted to the issues of distance education, but other issues were also discussed.

In particular, the president appealed to the heads of the regions with an appeal not to abandon the previously introduced allowances for teachers in the amount of 5 thousand rubles.

The President called the decision to approve this payment absolutely correct.

“Once again, I want to say to my fellow governors: in no case should we remove the regional allowances for pedagogical work in many regions, in any case,” the head of state emphasized.

The President added that these processes should be "closely watched" by the relevant control structures.
