Andrey Kolesnikov about the meeting of Vladimir Putin with the Council of Legislators
On April 28, Russian President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg met with the Council of Legislators, and the Council of Legislators, in turn, says a special correspondent of Kommersant Andrey Kolesnikov, Meet with the Minister of Education Sergei Kravtsov.
Vladimir Putin meets annually with the advice of lawmakers. The day before was the day of parliamentarism, so that everything turned out the best as possible.
Meanwhile, legislators began to sit in the Tauride Palace at about 11 in the morning. Here were the heads of legislative assemblies of the regions, deputies of the State Duma, senators. Until the president arrived, discussed the problems of education. However, the Minister of Education Sergei Kravtsov also did not come immediately. And maybe it’s good that he did not hear what they said, including at him.
Arriving, Mr. Kravtsov made a short report, after which the State Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin asked him to clarify regularly to deputies, senators, and indeed everyone who is connected with education, the question: is there really a shortage of teachers in schools?
Everyone, except the minister and the employees of his department (and not all), believe that there is. And he, once telling the president that there is no special shortage, since then he insists that no.
It was just interesting what he would say this time. Mr. Volodin warned that, according to data from various sources (he listed them), a shortage of teachers in the country – from 200 thousand to 500 thousand people. “According to the Accounts Chamber, in rural schools, there is a small percentage of teachers in rural schools … And the president, as we recall, estimated the lack of mathematics teachers in city schools about 30%, and for physics teachers-about 26%. And we hear from you that 2% of everything … Maybe this is an average indicator? .. But in the context of the regions it is very different … ” – Mr. Volodin commented on the peaceful one.
The State Duma speaker, I must say, is not the first time approaching Sergei Kravtsov with this topic.
“Let’s check this data correctly,” Mr. Kravtsov began to offer, and so that the deputies also provide data on specific schools (which, where is the shortage. – A.K.) …
“Sergey Sergeyevich, now you are inviting the deputies that they take up the collection of data on vacancies because you don’t have them …” Mr. Volodin said already with irritation. “As for the Enlightenment … We proceed from the fact that the Ministry of Education is responsible for enlightenment!” I would very much like to have a general understanding! And then the Accounts Chamber, the body of the presidential and parliamentary control, draws our attention to the fact that in rural schools we have a shortage of 30%, and we must treat this accordingly! .. How will we decide? There was no basic answer! You say there is no problem! What vacancies – 2%? ..
Yes, here, waiting for the president, it was boring.
“As for the vacancies,” answered Sergey Kravtsov. “Here Tatarstan is present here … and others. So, less than 1%: Mordovia, Ossetia (apparently northern. – A.K.), Moscow, Moscow Region, Kurgan, Belgorod … Most vacancies-Krasnoyarsk Territory, Krasnodar, Irkutsk Region, Sverdlovsk, Chelyabinsk, Yekaterinburg (this seems to be not. A.K.) …
The minister, however, this time did not prudently call the numbers.
“As for 500 thousand.“ We know this, this is data for one bet … ”he commented.“ This is three or four lessons a day if you conduct … we must fix it, calmly understand …
But then heavy artillery entered. That is, the vice speaker Irina Yarovaya did not become silent. No, did not.
“For parents, students and teachers, the explanation is that if the teacher is required for four hours, then you do not think him, is a non -working version,” she shrugged. “If today the leading site Superjob.ru gives from 500 thousand vacancies – and this is alarming information!” Regardless of how to interpret it, it is necessary to interpret it in one direction: so that the parents are sure that the school has all teachers who will provide high -quality education! Do you propose not to consider psychologists? And why do you offer us to every school – by a psychologist? .. Then you will decide on the logic: here to count, do not count? .. Why do you refer to the fact that additional legislative regulation is needed? When you need, you do not need it! .. But we accepted a single program not because you insisted, but because the deputies proposed!
Wow, here claims, it turns out, are more effective. What is there, they are global.
– We need to provide each family, each child is not data that is not true, but a solution to problems! – Irina Yarovaya exclaimed in her hearts.
And if she exclaimed in her hearts, then write disappeared.
Clouds thickened over the Minister of Education before our eyes. No, thickened.
The Minister of Labor and Social Protection Anton Kotykov, meanwhile, seemed, it seems, not to the side of his colleague.
“Until 2030, our general need for education is 480 thousand specialists,” Mr. Kotyakov explained. “In the year we need to attract 40 thousand purely teachers in the industry …
No, this is not one percent. And not two.
– what Sergei Sergeyevich is talking about (Mr. Kravtsov. – A.K.) – this is a deficiency of a single -moraine, on the current date, ”added Anton Kotykov.“ If we focus on the so -called substitution need, then this is almost half a million by 2030. ”
Meanwhile, the Minister of Labor left the Minister of Education some space for the maneuver. He did not claim that his colleague is wrong. It’s just about one point, about the current date. And here with the Minister of Education, maybe you can’t argue.
I saw how long I pull my hand, as if in the lesson, Irina Belykh, the head of the specialized committee of the State Duma.
“I’m just very short! ..” she finally said. “Yes, at once, on the current date! .. I agree!” And what will happen to September 1? !!
While Sergey Kravtsov was going with thoughts, Irina Yarovaya entered again. Yes, it was not necessary to upset her even according to trifles. She, apparently, felt that the minister could slip between all these numbers from her souls, and decided to finish with all this one blow:
– If the Ministry of Education believes that everything is fine with us, then why are you forming a request for foreign teachers, to migrants?! Here you are late a little, and Tatarstan spoke with us … They talked about it … We take a whole range of measures to protect national interests, and education?! And this is the fundamental basis of national security!
Everything, Irina Yarovaya spoke about national security. There is a step to the left, a step to the right … at least stand, at least fall. Yes, everything is useless …
– You declare us through the government: « We lack teachers! » – She continued. – You attract foreign experts! And how does this correlate with goal -setting?! With the upbringing of a Russian citizen? !! You see, everything is in contradiction! And today, 500 thousand vacancies that are officially declared in public space is a situation that is extremely disturbing everyone! Except you, apparently, for some reason! ..
She looked at the Minister of Education, demanding an answer. No, he was silent. What can you say? In the audience there were restrained victorious laughs.
“We are in a constant dialogue, I will emphasize,” the Minister of Education said, apparently, nevertheless stunned by a new blow. “If we are guided by the Superjob website …-this is one situation.” And the rest – we build work on the forecast!
No, after all, he raised his head and found the strength to get up with a comment about the site superjob.ru at the ready. Irina Yarovaya could say something else. But Vyacheslav Volodin added for her.
– Yes, if everything is so good for us, then why do you give an application for attracting migrants? – with some even amazement he asked and, as it seems to me, gratefully looked at Irina Yarovaya; Vyacheslav Volodin did not even think, probably about foreign teachers, but she thought! – If so, then very bad!
– That’s it! -Irina Yarovaya nodded.-We discussed this at the commission headed by Tatyana Aleksandrovna Golikova (Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation.- « Kommersant ») And which you need to go, Sergey Sergeyevich!
But this was already superfluous. There would be no need for a lying …
A few minutes later Vyacheslav Volodin announced a break – as it turned out, to wait for the Russian president in the Big Hall of the Tauride Palace. The break was short, and just at that time it became known that Vladimir Putin, who had appeared in the Tauride Palace 15 minutes later, announced a three-day Russian-Ukrainian truce in connection with the Victory Day.
I saw in the hall of one of the negotiators who recently flew to Riyadh to meet with American colleagues, that is, Senator Grigory Karasin, and went to him to test his feelings.
“Still, something is happening! ..” he shared. “Agree! .. Here they legalized Crimea in the negotiations as a topic … But it was not there!” Nevertheless, we see that it is legalized in a public plane. They are ready for this conversation!
– And what are they ready for? – I asked, realizing that it was not only about American, but also about Ukrainian negotiators.
“Perhaps they are about to be ready for conversations in other territories …” suggested Mr. Karasin.
– On the line of contact? I asked.
– I think so far …
“But how can I agree, I can’t imagine?” I admitted.
“Yes, I, too,” Grigory Karasin agreed. “But the fact is that Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin participates in these negotiations! .. That’s what we must take into account first of all!” And how he teaches us …
And Grigory Karasin told how he teaches us.
The former Minister of Sports, now the head of the State Duma Committee on Physical Education and Sports, interrupted us.
– Let me sit down with you? He asked Gregory Karasin.
– We have a covid seedling here. You don’t know? He asked.
That is, I understand, through one.
Colleagues sat down with pleasure nearby.
In the forefront of the semicircular hall, events and people swarled around the first deputy head of the Russian Presidential Administration Sergei Kiriyenko. For a long time, the speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko mastered him for a long time. But even then Mr. Kiriyenko tiredly stood up and sat down again: they greeted him. Creeping intended to show him his respect. And showed.
The second half simply did not have time: Mr. Putin entered. Here, of course, they began to show him. The applause did not silent, despite the fact that he begged the legislators to sit down, and threatened to go into a violent standing ovation. But he still managed to argue them.
The speech of Vladimir Putin was short and, rather, was uttered because he had to pronounce it. He did not say anything about the truce – and, apparently, he should not.
Mr. Putin only told how well that all three branches of power (that is, the presidential, legislative and executive) are « in balance and act clearly, in accordance with each other. »
Well, this is the dream of any head of state. And she came true.
There were no special wishes for parliamentarians. Only one thing: continue in the same spirit.
In the part concerning Sergei Kravtsov, they will no doubt the penalty.
