In the Ivanovo region teachers have simplified the title of “Veteran of labor”

Teachers of secondary schools of the Ivanovo region will now be enough to have 25 years of pedagogical experience to receive the title of “Veteran of Labor of the Ivanovo region”. Deputies of the regional Duma adopted the relevant law at a plenary session on September 24.

Previously, additional conditions were required to obtain the title, including the availability of awards and reaching the retirement age. The new rules apply to teachers, teachers-defectologists and speech therapists working in general education organizations of the region.

According to the regional Department of social protection, the required 25-year experience have about 3100 active teachers. The right to the provided measures of social support arises immediately after the assignment of the title.

The implementation of the law until the end of 2026 will require more than 14 million rubles. In 2027-2029, expenses are estimated at about 81-84 million rubles annually.

At the same time, teachers of colleges and technical schools are not yet subject to the adopted norm. Also, the regional title is valid only in the Ivanovo region.
