A teacher from St. Petersburg, who was fired after reading poems by Daniil Kharms and Alexander Vvedensky in class, should be reinstated. This was announced on Monday, February 7, by the head of the Ministry of Education, Sergei Kravtsov.
At the same time, he noted that the ministry will check the information about the dismissal.
“Our teachers live their work, their business, creatively invest in the development of programs, try to give the children the maximum, and if in response an administrative worker turns on a “club” with or without reason, what will we get as a result? I believe that the teacher should be fully restored in his rights, continue working with children, and now together with the region we are checking this whole situation, ”the ministry’s press service quoted the minister as saying.
Kravtsov also called on all administrative workers to be “more sensitive” to teachers.
