"It's not the teachers who are missing, it's the money for salaries." A Volgograd school has been without a physics teacher for a year. They can't find a new one on 27 rubles.
At school No. 93 A parallel class of 7th and 8th graders studied for a year without a physics teacher—other teachers taught the subject. A vacancy with a salary 27 thousand rubles still not closed.
Volgograd Administration reported About the measures taken to find a new teacher: they posted the vacancy on the Employment Center website, the Volgograd State Social and Pedagogical University website, and other resources. A potential physics teacher was never found.
The director of one of the secondary schools in a neighboring region disagreed with the question of a "teacher shortage" in a conversation with NeMoskva.
"It's not the teachers who are lacking, but the money for salaries. My Russian and literature teacher is leaving to work in the press service of a commercial organization, and my English teacher quit after the winter break, verbally declaring, 'My school salary only covers utilities and tights.'" The majority of the teaching staff are retirees and very young teachers still finishing their university studies and living with their parents. Those who work two jobs quickly burn out or constantly take sick leave because the workload is overwhelming. And on payday, the only one who doesn't sigh in resignation is the physical education teacher—he works for the soul, because he's a former soldier and has a good pension., the school director said about the situation.
According to him, if teachers' salaries are not raised, only retirees will remain in the profession in the coming years, and the quality of education will decline.
On the so-called teacher shortage stated on the eve in the Omsk region, in schools Tomsk region lacks 298 teachers.
In total, in Russian schools, according to the State Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin, shortage of teachers made 30 percent.
