You can participate in the contest “Teacher of the Year of Belarus” at any age and more than once – the Deputy Chairman of the jury

Neither age nor previous attempts are an obstacle to participation in the competition of professional skills "Teacher of the Year of the Republic of Belarus". This was told by the Deputy Chairman of the jury of the competition, Director of the Institute of Professional Development of Education Workers of the Academy of National Education Inessa Zubrilina. The oldest participant of the current competition is 52 years old, and the winner of last year won the title at 58, for the first time entering the competition stage.

The competition rules do not limit the number of attempts: a teacher can compete for the title of the best teacher in the country repeatedly. Moreover, the experience of the past years often becomes a springboard to victory.

- In the final of this competition, we have two finalists who reached the level of the superfinal in previous years, and in one nomination, said Inessa Zubrilina.

There are no age restrictions for participants in the competition. This season confirms this: the most experienced participant is 52 years old.

A vivid illustration of the fact that age is not a barrier, but sometimes an advantage is the story of the winner of the last competition Sergey Shaminsky. He won a prestigious pedagogical competition at the age of 58 and immediately won the love of all the members of the jury and the audience in the hall.
