There are a number of such measures in effect in our republic. Thus, teachers who come to work under the Zemstvo Teacher program receive a one-time compensation payment in the amount of 1 million rubles. Teachers working in rural areas with up to three years of experience are paid an annual one-time financial assistance to pay for rent or housing, travel to their place of worksays the Head of Crimea.

Among other support measures, Sergei Aksyonov noted a monthly additional payment from the federal budget for class management in the amount of 5 thousand rubles, as well as an additional payment to young specialists in the amount of 5.7 thousand rubles monthly. In addition, since the beginning of last year, 24 municipalities of Crimea have introduced bonuses to the official salaries of mentors of young specialists and young specialists who have started working in their specialty for the first time in municipal educational organizations.

In addition, a number of municipalities have approved support measures in the form of providing teaching staff with land plots, including for construction, as well as office housing. Regional awards for training winners of All-Russian Olympiads and 100-scorers at the Unified State Exam, and for achievements in teaching are also a sign of respect for the work of a teacher.
