Personally congratulate the laureates of the competition, and through them and the whole country the President of Russia comes not for the first time - this can be said, already a kind tradition. But in the planetarium such a high meeting passes for the first time.
Teachers from the regions where he managed to pay enhanced wages, shared this joy with Dmitry Medvedev. True, then they asked when surcharges will receive the rest, and most importantly, it is possible to hope for improving the material situation of the two most vulnerable categories of teachers: beginners and pensioners. However, the response of the head of state sounded encouraging: "Almost half of the regions were accepted and fulfilled the decision to bring the average salary of the teacher to the average for the economy this year. And in the rest we will do it during 2012. The average salary in the economy will become the bottom plank of the wages of the teacher. "
However, the young teachers would not expect the golden rain: "Do not immediately count on professorial salaries. Young people should understand that she is all ahead. " The main thing is that the state will support the most talented teachers. And at all big scales. The President supported the proposal of the Moscow Teacher Anton Molek: "I am completely for the system of grants and premiums for those who achieve the best results. We have already used it in the national project "Education", and it is quite possible to live for this money. But this system must be improved, and the wider there will be a palette of providing opportunities, the better. For example, a good option is to purchase apartments out of turn. Or the provision of preferential loans. "
Another idea of meeting participants is to civilize sponsorship school. Perhaps - through cooperation with major companies. And better - by creating full funding capital funds formed from voluntary donations from graduates of schools or universities, as is done in the world, and not at the expense of shavers from parents, as in Russia. "I have such a dream: to make civilized support for school and its extrabudgetary funding," Dmitry Medvedev admitted. However, "the main costs of school should still bear the state," he made a reservation.
"Teacher's Day is a feast of the nationwide: about 14 million people celebrate it in our country. And the last 20 years - and international, the president passed to the congratulations to the whole Russian school. - As for the contest, you always think: who is the winners this year? And he talked to them and saw: these are good people, a team of like-minded people who devoted themselves to teaching. I was very nice to communicate with them! "
In the educational chain of Russia in 2011, the whole Pleiad of new stars climbed. But brighter than others shone alone: the first prize for the first time in recent years got a rural teacher - a biologist from the Lipetsk region Alexey Ovchinnikov.
