The salary of university teachers: and laughter, and a sin

For over ten years, the situation in education systematically worsens.Despite the fact that in 2012-2013, several raise the salary of university teachers, and teaching staff of schools and preschool institutions, it still leaves much to be desired.Institutes and academy, opening the pay office and departments by providing additional services, desperately trying to survive, but the overall situation in the country negatively affects the quality of education.

As a result, senior lecturers and professors have to "earn" by combining multiple bets.The salary of university teachers in any region of Russia did not exceed 37 thousand rubles - and this is the maximum.Teachers of high school earn an average of less than average workers.For example, the senior teacher earns an average of about 9000 rubles.No wonder that research workers seeking a better life in business or abroad.

in America or Western Europe, the salary of university teachers allows them to exist quite comfortably.Education and academic degree there is valued according to merit, and the teaching profession has not lost its prestige.

somewhat different situation is in Central Europe.In Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic salary of university teachers, on average, two times higher than in Russia.However, there is a noticeable difference between private and budgetary institutions.A senior teachers and assistants can not afford to exist only on salary.As in Russia, scientists are willing to work part time schools or courses.

fall of prestige of the profession and status affects not only the psychological state, based on a sense of inferiority and everyday problems of employees of higher education.It directly affects the quality of educational services.For example, if the salary of the teacher of high school in Moscow in the budget institution on the average of 13 thousand rubles (for lecturers) to 20 (from the professorial staff), in the regions the situation is even worse.Even these figures may be somewhat overstated - because they include income and administrative staff.It is surprising that while the average salary of professors barely allows them to survive, official and not reward Rectors make at least a few hundred thousand rubles a month.The government, instead of drastic measures to improve the quality and standard of life of senior lecturers and professors, as well as junior scientists, contends that such earnings testify about their alleged low level.After all, few people can afford to agree to work for the money ...

It is especially sad that teachers work part time as a result of not only the tutor, but also try to find additional classes: for example, journalism, writing books and textbooks, participated in the preparation of computer programs.All this, of course, wonderful, but separates scientists from their duties.Preparation of students, quality higher education are in ruins.Many teachers try to go for an internship or permanent employment abroad.As a result, the domestic institutions of higher education keep losing highly skilled professionals.
