He stated this during a conversation with the laureates of the All-Russian competition "Teacher of the Year".
The broadcast is hosted by the Russia 24 TV channel.
During the event, the President was surprised at the name of the "Lyceum of Classical Elite Education" in the Rostov Region, where the winner of the competition Mikhail Gurov works.
The President noted that the fact that education in this lyceum is given at the proper level is understandable, because Gurov became the winner of the “Teacher of the Year”.
“But I am always confused by such words“ elite ”,“ elite ”.
Why not "Lyceum of Classical Education"?
Who in your country comes up with such complex names that do not please the ear of a normal person? "
- said the president.
Earlier, Putin called the work of the education system decent during the pandemic.
