Medinsky stated the need to expand the powers of teachers and directors

MOSCOW, October 1 - RIA Novosti. The disciplinary powers of teachers and school principals need to be significantly expanded so that they can bear full responsibility for the education and upbringing of children within the framework of the law, Russian Presidential Assistant Vladimir Medinsky told RIA Novosti.

“The disciplinary powers of teachers and school principals should, in my opinion, be significantly expanded. There is something to think about,” he said.

According to him, “too many instruments of pressure on the teacher and on the director from various kinds of communities have now been created.” This should not happen, Medinsky believes.
