The union assessed the shortage of teachers in Russia
The express monitoring of the All-Russian Trade Union of Education, conducted before the start of this academic year, showed that only in 37 regions of the country there were 16.5 thousand vacancies without dividing into rural and urban schools. This was stated by deputy chairman of the trade union Tatyana Kupriyanova in a conversation with Izvestia.
The expert noted that against this background, the official figures raise questions.
"According to official data, as of September 20, 2024, there were 6,547 vacant positions in rural schools, and 18,287 in urban institutions," the expert explained, noting that these data differ from those of the trade union.
According to the expert, the housing issue is now the decisive factor for a teacher to move to a rural area under the Zemsky Uchitel program. Teachers are also interested in the possibility of placing their children in preschool institutions, paying for relocation and accessibility of cultural leisure, and, of course, the level of salaries.
"The figures for open vacancies indicate that really new system solutions are needed in this area," Kupriyanova said.
