Putin greets teachers Status and school investment

Jul 20

Vremya presents Putin's complete Teachers' Day message. He calls teaching a vocation requiring wisdom, patience and attention, says teachers' special status was enshrined this year with support and professional opportunities, promises continued modernization of educational infrastructure, and argues that the teacher's personality remains essential despite new technology. His congratulations and closing wishes are retained.

Putin signs the July 20, 2026 decree on additional measures supporting teachers. In the October 5 ceremony, Mishustin describes special professional status, development opportunities, mentoring for new teachers and improvement of workload requirements. Vremya repeats his status-and-mentoring account. At the October 1 teaching awards, Kravtsov discusses the president's teacher-status decree and says ministry regulations, including young-teacher support, are being prepared for approval by year-end. These passages distinguish the signed decree from implementing work still anticipated; they do not establish that every measure was already implemented.
