If the amendments to the law “On education in the Russian Federation” are adopted, most capable and motivated students will be able to come to school not only to practice but also to begin to work. Someone of the guys the new bill will give the opportunity to find the first place for two or three hours a week, get an interesting experience, to conduct the summer camp. Someone will be in education for many years.
– the bill will allow both to fill in schools, staff shortages and create opportunities for early entry to the teaching profession, – said the curator of the bill, Deputy Chairman of the Duma Committee on education and science Lyubov Dukhanina. Now, in accordance with existing regulations, officially taught in schools and institutions of additional education can only certified specialists. Students work with children either as interns or as volunteers – even to clubs and get paid for it they can’t.
According to Lyubov Dukhanina, on the removal of these restrictions in Russia thinking for a long time. In 2016, the experts of the onf project “Equal opportunities for children” made a proposal to allow students to teach in the groups and sections. Today the bill provides for the admission to the teaching at the school of pedagogical students in the fourth course. And keep mugs and sections at school will have the opportunity students of any University in the third year and older. Importantly, the program of training of orientation coincided with additional General program compliance will be determined by the school. That is, the student-technician will be able to conduct “urban” club at school, to teach children to program, say, or to make robots.
Surveys of teachers conducted by the onf and the Fund “National resources education” every year shows a steady shortage of teachers. If in 2018 about the shortage of staff in schools reported 48% of those who took part in the survey of teachers, in 2019 – already 51% – said Lyubov Dukhanina. – Involvement in school students need in order to compensate for this deficit. No wonder in February, the President recommended to accelerate consideration of the bill after meeting with the public: then the teacher from Cherepovets complained that the schools do not have enough teachers, and this problem could be solved through the involvement of students of pedagogical institutes of the last session.
the Most deficient areas – mathematics, foreign, Russian language, elementary school. About the shortage of teachers speaking as in rural schools (54%) and urban (50%). Only a quarter of teachers surveyed by the onf in 2019, said that over the past academic year, the composition and the number of staff has not changed. More than a third of respondents (38%) noted that the replacement of dismissed colleagues found difficult: for Example, teachers fromstavropolskogo region say: “Some teachers teach for three subjects, after only training courses. Substitute teachers find qualitatively worse.” But the experience of Altai territory: “In elementary school, two teachers agreed to pick up two classes, but next year the teachers never found. English language a constant turnover. At the moment, quit just three young English teacher”.
Some experts fear that the admission of students to teaching in the school will reduce the quality of education. But you can’t ignore the fact that in some schools due to teacher shortages, there are no lessons at all, – said Lyubov Dukhanina. – Fill staff shortages need to be considered in the complex. Somewhere to replace the retired teacher comes to the student, but will retain the opportunity to consult with their instructors and colleagues. Where it will come from the teacher under the program “rural teacher.” Somewhere work regional personnel program.
What is especially important? The students themselves, with the adoption of the law will receive early entrance into the profession, the opportunity during their studies to seek paid work in his field. In addition, admission to teaching students will develop mentoring in schools. And this is one of the tasks of the national project “Education”.
