| Description | But where will the children go? That statement encapsulates a selfperception widespread among Russia's 1.7 million teachers that they are cultural missionaries with a moral responsibility for the younger generations, as much as they are professionals providing a service by contract; as Russians put it, 'postol'ko, poskol'ko', that is, with reciprocal obligations. And yet the authors of this chapter, who have both spent a good part of their careers thinking about the Russian teaching profession in a historical context, suspect that the story may be more complex than that. The emergence and evolution of the professions in Russia occurred in ways quite distinctive to that country. This history has left a profound imprint on teachers. Moreover, some developments at work today, such as feminization, declining salaries relative to other sectors, low prestige, and flight were observable in the late Soviet era. And yet, the past decade or so has also surely wrought its own effect upon the nation's schools and teachers. Below, we seek to sort out what is old and what is new in the situation, identity and public behaviour of teachers. Although we will touch upon teachers' training and their performance, our emphasis is upon their interactions with community and state. Our observations are based upon the archives, secondary literature and periodical press of the tsarist period, secondary literature of the Soviet and post-Soviet eras,3 and the current press.4 Book Name: Educational Reform in Post-Soviet Russia |
