This year, World Teachers' Day fell on the first Sunday in October. In Russia, this professional holiday for domestic teachers was celebrated on this day until 1994, when it was merged with the global date recently established by UNESCO.
According to the All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center, in 2012, only 4% of Russians considered teaching prestigious. By last year, this figure had risen to 16%. And the profession's popularity continues to grow. The current academic year's admissions campaign attracted a record number of applications for teacher training programs – over 541,000, a quarter more than last year. On average, there were 16 applicants per spot.
Although most associate Teacher's Day with schools, it also concerns all employees in the education sector. Therefore, the State University of Management congratulates its entire faculty, but with special warmth we extend our best wishes to the teachers of our Pre-University. May the efforts you invest in your students be repaid a hundredfold through their successes and achievements, may lessons and lectures be a joy, and may the respect and love for you continue to linger among schoolchildren and students long after graduation. Happy holiday to you, bestowers of knowledge and wisdom!
