Competition “Master of the Year”: a teacher from Borovichi was among the strongest teachers of the country

Literature teacher of the Borovichi Pedagogical College Yana Zaitseva will represent the Novgorod region at the final of the All-Russian competition “Master of the Year” among teachers of the secondary vocational education system. The competition will be held in Novy Urengoy, the press service of the regional government reported.

The scale of the final is impressive: teachers from 89 subjects of Russia will come to it. Getting to the number of finalists was not easy – this year the organizers received almost 13 thousand applications, which is 3 thousand more than in 2025. The age of the participants is from 21 to 56 years. Among the contestants are 54 teachers from organizations involved in the federal project “Professionality”.

Yana Zaitseva perceives participation in the competition not as a result, but as a new stage of her professional path.

“Victory at the regional stage is not a finish, but a new start. For me, the competition is primarily an opportunity for professional growth and exchange of experience. It is especially valuable to see the response in the eyes of listeners and hear the recognition of colleagues, she said.

An important role in the preparation of Yana Zaitseva was played by methodologists of the Borovichi Pedagogical College. Their support was not limited to formal assistance: together they sought innovative solutions, discussed ideas and refined approaches. This format of joint creativity allowed to develop fresh pedagogical techniques and confidently pass the qualifying stages.

The names of the ten prize-winners of the competition will be announced on October 1 – the day of the final competition “Fall in Love with the Profession”.
