The new system of awards in the field of education will drastically reduce the number of labor veterans and will allow to recognize the merits of managers.

Order No. 1223 of September 26, 2016 "On departmental awards of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation" significantly changed the current system of awards. Only gratitude and a certificate of honor from the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation remained unchanged. Instead of the titles "Honorary Worker" of different levels of education - primary, secondary, general, professional - a single title "Honorary Worker of Education of the Russian Federation" was introduced without division into types of institutions. There was an award for a huge army of workers in additional education: "Honorary worker in the field of raising children and youth of the Russian Federation." The title "Honorary Worker of Science and Technology of the Russian Federation" will be awarded primarily to representatives of science working on university educational programs.

The K. D. USHINSKY medal was established for those who have merit in the field of theory and history of pedagogical sciences. It will be awarded, as a rule, to doctors of pedagogical sciences. The L. S. VYGOTSKY medal is proposed to be awarded to pedagogical workers and figures in the field of psychological sciences - as a rule, doctors of psychological sciences.

The Golden Badge of Distinction of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation will also become new. The quota that remains for other types of incentives does not apply to him - one awarded for 200 employees.

According to Marina BUROVOY, Head of the Human Resources and Civil Service Department of the Regional Ministry of Education and Science, from now on only a gold badge gives the right to receive the title of Veteran of Labour. Previously, the owners of any departmental awards (with the exception of gratitude from the federal department) became veterans. BUROVA clarified that all awards that were received before July 1, 2016 give the right to confer the title of "Veteran of Labour", and for those awarded after July 1, a different procedure comes into force.

“To receive a gold badge, a person must have at least 15 years of work experience in the field of education, at least 3 years in an educational organization that submits an award. Only those who already own one of the departmental awards of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation of any denomination, such as an honorary title, badge or medal, are presented for the gold badge,” explained Marina BUROVA. At the same time, she specified that the title of "Honorary Worker" of any level of education used to be called a badge.

It is noteworthy that, according to the order of the Ministry of Education and Science, it is not allowed to award a badge of distinction in connection with the anniversary of the organization or the employee himself.

Documents for the award of the "Golden badge of distinction of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation" are sent for approval to the regional governor. There are no federal payments or benefits to the recipients of the new top honors award, but educational organizations or municipalities may set their own incentive payments for them.

– The reward system was somewhat leveled and required updating. In fact, we adjusted the incentive system in such a way that as many people as possible received the title of “Veteran of Labor”. Now, probably, there will be a more careful selection of candidates. It is necessary to present for awards not only in connection with a person’s retirement or his anniversary, but also in order to mark the worthy, their merits.

Yes, the number of labor veterans will decrease sharply. But, on the other hand, a very significant problem is being solved: recently we could not award industry awards to employees of educational authorities. The new gold badge can also be awarded to managers - both at the municipal and regional levels, that is, a wider range of employees. There are no quotas, but responsibility for those documents that we submit, introducing a person to the highest sign differences, very high - after all, the document will be coordinated by the governor of the region.

Our regional position on the title of "Veteran of Labor" remains in force. The title will still be able to be awarded to those who received letters from the governor or the Legislative Assembly of the Chelyabinsk region.

Chapter General education

Stakeholders are interested in what merits the title of an honorary worker is awarded general education RF and whether it carries benefits. Let's take a look at these questions in this article. Let's start with what laws regulate the assignment of the title and what is its connection with the status of "Veteran of Labor".

General provisions

Title "Honorary Worker"- This is an award badge, which encourages employees of education. This is an industry non-material award, the presence of which entitles you to certain privileges. She is given out for many years of work, achievements and innovations in the educational industry.

Such an honorary title gives its owner the right to receive other worthy awards, including:

  • the title of "Honored Teacher";
  • title "Veteran of Labor".

The first of the above awards is given to teachers with 20 years of experience and personal contribution to the general education industry. The second title is guaranteed to retired applicants who have received the additional Gold Sign award.

All conditions for conferring the title of "Honorary Worker" are enshrined in the Regulations "On Distinctive Titles in the Field of Science and Education." This set of rules is enshrined in government order No. 84 of October 6, 2004.

For what merits is the status of "Honorary Worker" awarded?

The title of "Honorary Worker of the General Educational Sphere" is awarded to teachers for a twelve-year period of continuous work and special achievements in their field.

Personal contribution - actions aimed at:

  • getting students a better education;
  • revealing the potential, talent of students;
  • preparation of winners of regional olympiads for participation in regional and global competitions;
  • creation of author's educational methods, scientific programs, feature articles and other materials.

Attention! Upon retirement, an honorary worker can apply for the status of "Veteran of Labor" and receive all the privileges due to this category of citizens, provided that he has earned the "Golden Badge".

Compensation for honorary employees

It should be noted that the salary of a teacher depends on many factors, including experience and position, category and level of qualification. Industry honorary titles entitle applicants to an additional cash bonus. Its size is determined at the regional level and approved by local acts of the educational institution.

Contracts establishing the amount of the premium:

  • collective agreement;
  • payment statement;
  • labor contract.

The local authorities themselves determine the level of additional payments for award bearers, on average, the following percentages are set:

  • 10% for honorary workers;
  • 15-20% - honored teachers;
  • 10%, education staff can count on this level;
  • 10% other MO awards.

Other allowances due to teachers are charged on the rate, taking into account the additional payment for the honorary title. Consequently, the basic part of teachers' earnings increases. In rural areas, the same calculation scheme applies, where all related surcharges are charged to the rate after the bonus for the title of an honorary worker.

The status of "Honorary Worker" does not give its owner any additional benefits at the level of the Federation of the Russian Federation. But local authorities are free to establish other general privileges for teachers in their region. These can be additional vacation days, regional surcharges, discounts on utilities, travel benefits.

Honorary worker and labor veteran, what is the connection?

The presence of the status of "Honorary Worker", and in the future the mark "Golden Badge of Distinction of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation" entitles the teacher to the title of "Veteran of Labour". It occurs when you reach retirement age. This possibility is guaranteed by Art. 7 of the Federal Law "On Veterans" (draft dated January 12, 1995). This bill also stipulates all types of benefits that are guaranteed to veterans. Consequently, honorary teachers can count on them in the future.

Attention! Honorary titles are awarded to teachers, if they have higher education in the field of education.

Benefits for honorary teachers in retirement

So, the distinctions of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation give applicants the right to other honorary statuses. Upon reaching retirement age, the holder of the title "Honorary Worker of Education" can apply for the status of "Veteran of Labor". To do this, he needs to go to the department of social protection and submit an application. You need to confirm your right with a package of approved documents.

Already having a “Veteran of Labor” certificate guarantees all its holders in Russia the right to such benefits as:

  • free travel in urban modes of transport;
  • the right to free services, including treatment in the healthcare industry;
  • 50% discount on utility bills;
  • vacation at any time of the year chosen by the veteran;
  • production/repair of dentures for free.

Above, we have listed the benefits that all holders of the status of an honorary worker can use in the future. They operate throughout the country. But at the regional level, there are additional privileges for veterans of labor, it is necessary to clarify their list and conditions of provision at the social security departments at the place of residence.

Reader questions

  • Question number 1: Do I understand correctly that in order to receive the status of “Veteran of Labor” in retirement, is it enough for me to receive the award badge “Honored Worker” or do I still need the title of “Honored Teacher”? Answer: in 2018, to receive a veteran of labor if I have one only the "Honorary Worker" award will fail. Until the end of June 2016, there really was such an opportunity, but from July 1, a different procedure began to operate. The right to veteran pension benefits is assigned only to carriers who need to receive the "Golden Badge of Distinction of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation."
  • Question number 2: Who approves the Golden Sign for teachers and does it give the right to additional benefits? Answer: Whether to award the applicant the title of "Gold Sign" is decided by the regional governor, to whom documents are sent for approval. This award sign does not give any additional federal benefits. Regions themselves can establish privileges for its owners. But, this difference gives a person an important advantage - the opportunity to apply for the status of "Veteran of Labor" in retirement and receive all the benefits that this category of the population is entitled to.
