Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated Russian teachers on their professional holiday, noting that it is they who teach how to think and inspire good deeds, and no matter what new technologies appear in schools, the main thing remains the personality of the teacher.

Putin noted that starting this year, the special status of a teacher has been consolidated at the state level, which reflects high public recognition of the teacher’s mission and guarantees her the necessary support and new opportunities for professional growth and development.

“We are proud of the heritage created by previous generations. We are proud of the achievements of our contemporaries and understand that the basis of any success, victories and achievements is the work of a teacher,” the head of state emphasized.

He wished health and prosperity to the teachers and their loved ones.
