Teacher on the lip






Judging by sociological surveys, a considerable part of our citizens would prefer a modest but stable salary to a risky income. While some of our compatriots are taking retraining courses to become big enterprise managers, others are studying to become school teachers. According to nationwide statistics, 60 percent of teachers at our schools have a university (that is to say, nonpedagogical) education. Some of them study pedagogy after they have lost a job in their original specialty. Others take a teacher training course at their university while still undergraduates. (Krasnoyarsk University was the first to launch such a program for its students).

If we look at the Education Ministry's ratings of the most popular post-college education specialties, we will see that economics and economic management come first; general pedagogy, second; theory and methods of education (also pedagogy), third; and finances, money, and credit operations is in the fourth position.

Pedagogy is wedged between management and finances. Which must mean that adult Russians today, want to study in order to manage, count money, and teach others.
