Russian teachers defend the right to a decent salary, holding protests. In October, the teaching unions “Teacher” and “University Solidarity” organized a series of performances under the slogan “Officials want to reduce the budget for education”. In November, teachers from 8 regions, since the Moscow authorities did not allow to arrange a general protest of the Ministry of Finance, conducted single pickets, demanding that the Russian education system with sufficient financing.
As the teacher’s monitoring showed, teachers of many regions in recent months have received notifications of a decrease in salaries: “The delays have been in August and September in the Trans -Baikal Territory and Khakassia; teachers of the Omsk region recently learned that the salary would be paid“ in installments ”, Biysk teachers (Altai Territory) distributed notifications of a reduction in salaries by 30%.”
Indeed, after the schools received great financial and administrative independence, and the scale of educational institutions, thanks to mergers, increased many times, the management style began to change. The own atmosphere, a team of like -minded people inherent in each educational institution, led by a director who knows his students, if not by last name, then at least by person - all this remained in the past.
The introduction of a new labor dump system, which implies differentiated, depending on the efforts of the teacher and the success of students, salary, in many schools has led to the fact that the size of the stimulating part is determined by personal relations with the school administration. And if earlier such cases were considered obviously unfair, and teachers had the opportunity, albeit through the court, but to restore their rights, now the effective contract introduced into practice will force many to shut up many.
Today, the school principal has the right, with the consent of the team, trade union, possibly managing council (it depends on the charter of the school), to issue internal regulations. And, of course, the teachers, whose students demonstrated low academic performance, have the right. After the examination of the exam has ceased to evaluate the work of the governors, the OGE and the USE continue to be an indicator of the success and unusualness of the school, and therefore teachers.
A rare teacher can independently understand how much and for what he was paid
It is clear that there will be no high results where a low motivation and a complex area, but it is also clear that good assessments cannot be expected from children who learn from outdated textbooks that do not meet the requirements of the exam. Yes, there is additional literature and demo versions on the Internet, but it is this discrepancy that deprives the average student of hope for a high score, and a conscientious teacher - for a decent salary.
In addition, the complexity of the payment system and the opacity of accounting calculations led to the fact that a rare teacher can independently understand how much and for what he was paid. Moscow teachers, in any case, cannot do this, I even have a formula published by the Department of Education.
Another weak place, as it turned out, is a pedagogical experience. The Teacher’s Interregional Trade Union recently spoke with a request to equate additional education teachers with school, who have certain advantages. At the same time, it turned out that those teachers who were involuntarily in the newly created education centers, lost the right to early pension, although they fulfill their previous functions.
About the changes that are taking place in Russian schools now and are waiting for them in the near future Radio Liberty were told by English teachers Olga Guro-Frolova (Dzerzhinsk) and Elena Korozelnikova (Moscow)

Elena Korobelnikova , teacher:
- It all started with the fact that with the introduction of a new system of remuneration, we, English teachers, sharply decreased. However, the trade union available at the school did not support us. Moreover, we were told that if you continue to be so actively outraged, then you will not find work anywhere and certification will not pass either. And then we went to court, it was three years ago, and we won the case. Partially, we even received money, but the school principal filed an appeal. And this story with appeals still lasts.
During this time, the Department of Education issued several orders regarding the calculation of the salary of teachers in general, and the consequences of these orders were such that the salary decreased once again. Most likely, this is also a subject of trial.
We managed to talk twice with the Minister of Education of the city of Moscow, Isaac Kalina. During the second meeting, he told me such a thing: "I am not interested in your personal salary. I am interested in the average salary of school." That is, the average temperature in the hospital. And with me, Isaac Iosifovich opened the tablet, looked and said, in December you received a fairly large amount. Honestly, I was surprised because he voiced the figure 3 times more than my salary - 140 thousand rubles.
The Moscow government, indeed, allocates money, I think, enough. Another question is how this money is distributed, that is, for which people receive additional payments and to what volume. It turns out that if you are friends with the director, you can get a higher salary.
If you are friends with the director, you can get a higher salary
There is an order of the Department of Education dated 08.28.2015 No. 2055, where the formula is registered according to which the salary is calculated. We know our student and start to count. It doesn't work. In reality, as the accounting department believes, you will never succeed. Moreover, the accountant will convince you that your salary has not decreased by a penny. And you can break your forehead against the wall, but you will never prove that your salary has become less. At the same time, each time you will repeat that the financing of the school remains the same.
When we united two schools and four kindergartens, the next problem suddenly arose. One of my colleagues was refused to accrue a preferential senior pension due to the fact that we now have a mixed -type school. And on the basis of list No. 781 of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 29, 2002, this category of schools is not included in the organization that work with children. That is, my colleagues have a preferential pedagogical experience. The teacher, who worked for almost 25 years, now the Pension Fund refused to accrue such a pension precisely due to the fact that it is not considered a teacher. Of course, colleagues will have to go to court, which is extremely costly both in time and money.
As for the educational process, it is necessary to do a lot to do a lot at home, since in our teacher’s only computer and barely living Xerxes you have to do it. The fact is that the textbooks we work on (Afanasyeva, Mikheev for schools with in-depth study of the English language), for example, for grades 5-6, there is a GRIF FSO, but, when compared with old textbooks, nothing has changed there. They simply predicted the same textbook, changed its format, made A4 and changed the pictures. But, in order to hand over the exam in English, this textbook is not enough, moreover, it became less by one lesson per week.
With all the changes that are taking place at school, school principals, and now large complexes, have great power. And the distribution of finance and local acts - this is the school principal. And if the trade union does not work at school, if it is called “pocket”, then the teacher is unprotected.

Olga Guro-Frolova , teacher:
- In Dzerzhinsk, teachers last year lost part of the stimulation payment, which was implied for active participation in the school, for high results. That is, we were put on a bare salary, and it became simply inconceivable to work in these conditions.
For example, I had 24 hours, and my salary amounted to 16,800 rubles, despite the fact that my students had the result of 80 to 96 points, and one child won the All -Russian Olympiad in English. And all the Olympiads that are held at school, from 1st to 3rd place, were also taken by my students. That is, I worked to the maximum and received 16,800 rubles.
Then we, a bunch of people-who-minded people, decided to return our stimulation part, return our money, which we honestly worked out. The school principal explained to us that all the money goes through the municipality, that is, the city administration distributes the stimulating part. It looked strange. Why should the city administration dispose of my stimulation part?
We had an emergency teacher's council, and the director of the School of Zhidkova Irina Gennadievna said that she was incorrectly distributed financial resources and that in October we should give stimulation points. But how is the stimulation accrual in our school? Give the leaflets first. It says - for the high result of the work, for participating in exhibitions, for the Stagnucks contest. For example, I had a winner "Start of science", 2nd place. I wrote all this, and they crossed out, leaving only what they consider necessary.
I believe that in the lesson I should not engage in bureaucracy, paper work, but should give a lesson. If this is the format of the exam, then here every minute is the road. Usually I give tasks in such a way that it is not one or two options, when each one would write off each other, and all are different, so that the students work individually. No matter how advanced they answered me. It is important that they participate in the process, that they study. And it turned out that I check the text of each student (and I have 15-17 of them), and I accept a comment from the school in my address, because I did not fill out an electronic journal! ..
Textbooks give a level of knowledge, insufficient even to surrender OGE
And now, on the basis of all these events, we were offered an effective agreement, which implies that if a person is not satisfied with work or, for example, does not cope (part 2 of article 77) termination of the employment contract in general. This is the case when a person is inconvenient for the administration, and it is impossible to remove it in any other way. Let's say you will be given very complex classes. After all, no one is surprising that the director distributes teachers in the way he considers necessary. Someone has strong classes where students are motivated, someone has weak, where children do not want to study, but get all about the same money and the result should be similar.
Many teachers express their dissatisfaction with textbooks, working notebooks that give the level of knowledge, not even for passing the OGE. That is, they are simply impossible from us. You maneuver between the fact that the child can, and how he can. Even the audit, which is laid down in the format of the Kuzovlev textbook, according to which we teach, does not fit the last USE. It turns out that in order to pass well the exam, it is necessary to hire a tutor, because the teacher can not cope with only school resources here.
My colleague, a history teacher faced the same problem. He has some students in grade 9 not very successfully passed the OGE, since the textbooks simply do not correspond to the exam. He, for his part, asks for new textbooks, but the school cannot finance their purchase, although children should take this format, and this very spoils the relationship with the administration.
If we compare the points of wage over the past year and today, it will become obvious that the cost of the working hour for some reason has decreased, while the load has increased. So, the administration of our school requires filling out three magazines - electronic, paper and electronic current. If you have not filled out an electronic journal on time, the percentage of the stimulating part is removed from you. Although we do not have an employment contract that I undertake to keep an electronic journal.
Since all this is so regressed by us, we intend to move on. But people are afraid. After comments and reprimands were announced, no one wants to speak openly.
