YABLOKO stands against teachers’ burden increase, merger of schools and kindergartens and for restoring of free additional courses system which was commercialized this year.
The organizer of the action Olga Radayeva considers that education system in Russia is being destroyed purposefully.”It isn’t the field which can give extra profit. We consider that a teacher should get fair salary and shouldn’t get that much paper work. The teacher should teach children and develop educational programmes”, she said.
By the end of the picket the participants of the action signed an agreement on common actions with the memeber of the cross-regional trade union Uchitel (a teacher) Vsevolod Lukhovitsky.
