Volgograd Gymnasium Urgently Seeks Math Teacher
Gymnasium No. 13 in the Traktorozavodsky District of Volgograd is urgently seeking a mathematics teacher for classes where this subject has been removed from the schedule. After the January holidays, fifth-grade students were left without a teacher and an important discipline, as the previous teacher resigned and a new one has not yet been found. Let«s see how much they are willing to pay the employee and what he must do for this money.
Recall that with the start of the new quarter, the gymnasium on Bykova Street was left without a single mathematics teacher in the fifth grades. Moreover, according to parents of students, the subject is taught in other classes. When asked why the same teachers cannot teach the subject in fifth grades, the management of the educational institution assures: no one wants to take on additional workload. Sources from the editorial office in the education system, familiar with the situation, clarify: no one wants to go work for such money.
«Salary, working conditions, workload… Our teachers are obligated to do a lot, but essentially, they are engaged in charity work. The problem is not specifically of this gymnasium, but of the state,» said the source. «Low salaries and high workload. There is no one to replace. If they pay 100,000 rubles (approximately $1,000 at current rates), then probably young people will come to work. But for now, the base salary is 16,000 rubles (approximately $160 at current rates), what is there to talk about. It»s lower than that of cleaners. It all turns out to be charity work. The problem is known at the top, but for some reason it is not being solved…«
