Congratulations of the head of the Ministry of Education and Science Valery Falkov on the Day of the Higher School Teacher
A new professional holiday - Higher School Teacher's Day - is celebrated for the first time and is timed to coincide with the birthday of the great Russian scientist Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov. The holiday was established in the Year of Science and Technology by order of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation on behalf of the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin.
The head thanked the teachers for their everyday feat, sensitive heart and ardent concern for youth. And he called on everyone who is grateful to their university mentor to dial his number on this day and congratulate him on the holiday.
Dear friends!
In the Year of Science and Technology, we celebrate the Day of the Higher School Teacher for the first time. This is a holiday for more than 250 thousand teachers of Russian universities. This is a holiday for everyone who is grateful to their mentor, and another reason to pick up the phone and dial the number of the person who played an important role in your professional and personal development. Dear teachers, thank you for your everyday feat, sensitive heart and ardent concern for the most valuable thing - our youth. In the difficult conditions of the pandemic, you quickly adapted to new circumstances and moved to a digital environment that is unusual for many. I am sure that each of you did your best to ensure that students continue to receive high-quality knowledge. But no matter how we develop modern technologies in universities, they will never replace live human communication. Today's students will tomorrow become scientists, doctors, engineers or educators. It is they who will develop and move Russia forward. The teacher's task is to reveal the student's talent, help him find himself and determine his life path. It is the teacher who is able to foster decency, responsiveness and inspire to achieve ambitious goals. It is no coincidence that Higher School Teacher's Day is celebrated on the birthday of the great Russian scientist and educator Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov. The teacher is always on the frontier of scientific knowledge, shares best practices and is constantly improving. Only you can take the student by the hand and lead him to the forefront of science, show the boundaries of what has been learned and step into the unknown together. Your wisdom, sincere dedication, patience and emotional sensitivity have given the country many reasons for pride. After all, the success of students is your professional recognition. Let me congratulate you on the holiday! Be healthy! Conquer new heights! Enjoy every day you live!
