The Ministry of Education of Belarus has launched a hotline on issues related to teachers performing functions that are not their responsibility and excessive paperwork in educational institutions.
The department's press service reported this on Telegram.
How the Teachers' Hotline Works
The hotline is open from today at +375-17-222-43-12.
Calls are accepted from 09:00 to 13:00 and from 14:00 to 18:00.
Let us recall that at the end of August, the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko at the Republican Pedagogical Council demanded a radical solution to the problem of bureaucratic paperwork in schools.
According to the latest data from the National Statistics Committee, there are more than 103,000 teachers and more than a million schoolchildren in the country.
In cities there are 13 students per teacher, in rural areas – 6.
As for teachers' salaries, for the first 8 months of this year, the nominal accrued average monthly salary of a teacher was 2,022.3 rubles. Compared to the same period in 2023, the salary increased by 28.6%.
