Departmental awards are a form of encouragement and public recognition of achievements.

The Ministry of Education and Science of Russia can award departmental awards for outstanding achievements or merits and many years of conscientious work or service in the field of jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia (clauses 1.2 and 1.3 of the Regulations on departmental awards, approved by order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia dated September 26, 2016 No. 1223).

Departmental awards include:

Insignia of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation;
medal K.D. Ushinsky;
medal L.S. Vygotsky;
honorary title “Honored Worker of the Education Sphere of the Russian Federation”;
honorary title “Honored Worker of Science and Technology of the Russian Federation”;
honorary title “Honored Worker in the Sphere of Education of Children and Youth of the Russian Federation”;
badge “For mercy and charity”;
Certificate of Honor from the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation;
They are provided for in paragraph 1 of Order No. 1223 of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia dated September 26, 2016.

The awarding of departmental awards is sequential. In most cases, in order to receive a higher reward, you must receive the reward that precedes it. For example, in order to receive an Honorary Title from the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, you must have a Certificate of Honor from the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia.

If an employee has a departmental award from the Russian Ministry of Education and Science, this may be taken into account during his certification.

Also, a departmental award can influence the employee’s terms of remuneration. If this is provided for by the remuneration systems that operate in an educational organization, a departmental award may be the basis for additional payment (Article 135 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Conditions for awarding
The Russian Ministry of Education and Science has established requirements for candidates for departmental awards, the terms and conditions for the award.

Awards from the Ministry of Education

There are several departmental awards established by the Russian Ministry of Education, which are awarded for merits in the field of education.

Medal K.D. Ushinsky

This award, introduced in 1999, has a long history. Its establishment was timed to coincide with the anniversary date. In 1946, the Soviet Union widely celebrated the 75th anniversary of the death of the outstanding Russian teacher Konstantin Dmitrievich Ushinsky, who is considered the founder of pedagogy in our country.

The insignia appeared in May 1946. This happened after the Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR. It was assumed that the medal would reward teachers who distinguished themselves in the field of pedagogy. In addition, the basis for the award was the creation of good textbooks and much more. The award could be received from the hands of the Minister of Education of the RSFSR.

Among the recipients are many famous personalities. This is Professor Bradis, creator of the famous tables, children's writer Sergei Mikhalkov, famous speech therapist S.S. Lyapidevsky.

Badge "Honorary Worker of General Education of the Russian Federation"

The mark was established by order of the department in January 1999. It is assumed that the most distinguished teachers, educators, and other employees of educational institutions at various levels, including correctional institutions, intended for orphans, etc., have the right to receive it.

The basis for encouragement is great achievements in the organization of education, the introduction of modern technologies into the learning process. In addition, awards are made for notable achievements in the practical training of students, and much more.

People rewarded with this sign are entitled to receive a monthly salary increase of up to 20%. Additional payment is made from the finances of the educational institution.

Badge “Honorary Worker of Primary Vocational Education of Russia”

Employees of primary educational institutions, primary vocational education institutions, and some other persons have the right to apply for the award, founded in the fall of 2004. The reason for the award may be the candidate’s achievements in organizing the educational process, merits in financial and economic work, etc.

Badge “Honorary Worker of Secondary Vocational Education of the Russian Federation”

Employees of secondary educational institutions and personnel of secondary vocational education organizations can receive a similar badge, introduced in the fall of 2004. In addition, employees of other departments and enterprises can apply.

The reasons for the promotion are similar to the above badges. There is also the award “Honored Worker of Higher Professional Education of the Russian Federation.” The reasons for the award are the same.

Sign "Mercy and Charity"

Such an incentive can be awarded to a person working in any scientific and educational institutions. They can have any form of ownership. In addition, individuals working in educational management structures and other organizations are awarded.

The award is made for the introduction of modern forms of education for students in combination with charitable activities. Among the holders of the sign are people who regularly conduct various events with the participation of children, which are organized by the Ministry of Education, as well as people who help educational institutions financially.

Badge "Honorary Worker of Science and Technology of the Russian Federation"

This badge, established in the fall of 2004, is intended to reward the staff of research institutes, research departments of higher educational institutions, people who work in educational management structures, etc. You can get it for your contribution to research related to education, the development of new theories, the creation of modern scientific schools, and much more.

You can become the owner of the mark only if you have 15 years of work experience in a scientific institution. The award is a star with eight silver rays. Persons with such an award can count on a monthly 20 percent salary increase. Additional payment is made from the funds of the institution

Certificate of honor from the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation

Applicants for a diploma are persons working in educational management structures, educational institutions, etc. The form of ownership can be any. To be encouraged, you must have merit in activities related to training scientific specialists, improving their qualifications, and much more.

Badge Honorary Worker of the Youth Policy of the Russian Federation

Presentation of such an award has been practiced since the fall of 2004. It is awarded to individuals whose responsibilities include working with young people. The reason for reward is merit in the implementation of programs at various levels in the field of youth policy. The people who developed these programs are also recognized. The award is given for the introduction of modern forms of work with youth and some other achievements.

Holders of the mark have the right to apply for material incentives - an increase in salary, added from the organization’s funds.

Gratitude from the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation

A similar form of moral incentive appeared in October 2004. It can be awarded to employees of ministries, educational management organizations, and scientific institutions. This can be done as an incentive for organizing various events that were carried out on the instructions of the Ministry of Education, for achievements in the field of labor, administrative, and other activities.

Some of the types of awards listed above require the applicant to meet conditions of length of service and qualifications. In particular:

• To receive the “Honorary Worker of General Education” badge, you must have 12 years of experience. In addition, the candidate must have a 1st or higher category.
• A certificate of merit can be obtained with 5 years of experience.
• To qualify for the “For Mercy and Charity” badge, you need to work for at least 12 years.

State awards

In addition to awards from relevant departments, there are also state awards, which are awarded to people whose place of work is in educational institutions. They are considered the highest form of employee incentives and are awarded for notable achievements in the field of education.

In accordance with Presidential Decree No. 1099, signed in the fall of 2010, two ranks were introduced. These are “Honored Teacher of Russia” and “People’s Teacher of Russia”. In addition, among the state awards one can name two awards - the Russian President's and the Government's.

"Honored Teacher"

The title “Honored Teacher” is part of the state award system of our country. Its owner can be a teacher or lecturer with high professionalism and qualifications, who has significant merit in his work, thanks to which students gain in-depth knowledge. The basis is the timely identification and further development of students’ individual abilities, and much more.

The rank is accompanied by a breastplate made of silver, measuring 40x30 mm. To obtain the title, the candidate must have at least 20 years of teaching experience. Another condition is the presence of an industry or departmental award, for example, the K.D. medal. Ushinsky. The title is awarded on the basis of a presidential decree. This title also existed during the USSR. It was established back in 1940.

"People's Teacher"

This title is considered today the highest form of distinction for people engaged in teaching activities. It is awarded for outstanding achievements in the development of Russian education. The title is awarded to people whose students have achieved excellent results in various fields.

A person can become a “people’s teacher” no earlier than 10 years after he was awarded the previous title - “Honored Teacher”. Typically, the candidate for such an award is highly qualified. The corresponding Decree is signed by the President every year before Teacher's Day. Simultaneously with the assignment of the title, the person is awarded a silver badge measuring 40x30 mm.

Public awards of the military historical and cultural center

Corresponding incentives are also provided by some public institutions. Among them is the center of history and culture under the Russian Government. The organization established:

• Badge “For active work in the patriotic education of Russian citizens.” This honorary badge is awarded to individuals for their significant contribution to the formation and strengthening of patriotism of Russian citizens. It is also awarded for the implementation of programs for the development of patriotism.
• "Patriot of Russia." This commemorative medal recognizes people who have achieved notable achievements and some other merits in their work to educate patriotism.

There are also regional forms of incentives. They are established by the Governor, as well as the Ministry of Education of a particular region. Among them are gratitude, certificates, and titles.

Benefits, incentives

People who have been awarded a presidential or government award, as well as those who have won the Teacher of the Year competition, can expect that when they reach retirement age, they will be paid an additional amount of money along with their pension.

Such material remuneration is assigned according to the relevant Russian Law No. 21, which provides for additional payments to individuals who have great achievements for the country. In order for payments to begin to be made, a person must submit a corresponding application. The amount of the additional amount is equal to 330 percent of the basic pension. It is paid together with the labor pension.

All people rewarded with state or departmental awards have the right to receive benefits provided for by Russian law. For example, to receive a “Veteran of Labor”, you need to be the owner of some award, title received during the Soviet Union or after the formation of the Russian Federation, as well as a departmental insignia. The same law contains a list of all awards that can serve as the basis for obtaining a veteran's title.

In addition to the forms of encouragement listed above, a person can become a “veteran” if he has the status of “Honored Teacher”, as well as some Soviet awards. Among them is the title “Excellence in Public Education.” The badge of the Center Council of the All-Union Pioneer Organization “For active work with pioneers” is taken into account. Certificates of honor from the Ministry of Education of the RSFSR and the relevant trade union committee are taken into account.

In addition, departmental badges for long-term effective activities in the relevant profile are taken into account. Promotions that were founded by various companies, military units, and public organizations are not taken into account. The veteran title is not given for VDNKh medals either.

How is the award made?

All events during which awards are given to education workers in our country have their own peculiarities. First of all, an award order is issued, signed by the head of the institution. The document indicates in detail exactly what merits served as the reason for rewarding this employee. The exact type of reward is indicated. All employees of the educational institution must be familiar with the document.

To provide state awards, it is necessary to proceed from the accepted ratio. You can imagine one person out of a thousand employees of an educational institution. For awards from the Ministry of Education, the proportion is different - one employee out of a hundred is presented.

Thus, he passed the first stage of certification for confirmation of the highest qualification category. At the second stage, the students did not show the appropriate percentage of academic performance and quality, so I became a teacher of the second qualification category, but now I have nothing. In the last 2016-2017 school year, he worked as a mathematics and computer science teacher in grades 9-11. Graduation grade 11 in mathematics Unified State Examination basic level passed completely and with 50% quality. Now I also work in grades 9-11.

In education, as in other industries, employees are awarded honorary titles for many years of work or special achievements in the profession. Along with intangible forms of encouragement, in the form of certificates and badges, they also provide for other forms of public recognition.

Let's consider what benefits are provided for honorary workers of general education in the Russian Federation.

Who is awarded these titles?

Since October 2016, teachers of basic and additional education in the Russian Federation have been awarded the title “Honorary Worker of Education.”

You can receive it for many years of conscientious work with children (at least 12 years in a row) or for significant services to the industry.

Confirmation is provided by a special badge. In the future, holders of this title can receive a higher one: “Honored Teacher”.

This will require not only an industry award, but also 20 or more years of teaching experience, as well as personal contribution:

• in obtaining high quality education;
• in revealing the abilities and potential of students;
• in preparing winners of subject Olympiads from regional to international levels;
• in the creation of original educational programs and methods, scientific and methodological materials.

Additional payments to honorary and deserving employees

The salaries of teachers and employees of additional vocational education depend on parameters such as position, length of service, level of qualifications (rank and category), workload, and education.

Honorary industry titles of the Russian Federation give honored teachers of Russia the right to a monetary bonus.

Its specific size is established by local acts of the institution itself:

• Collective agreement;
• Regulations on remuneration;
• employment contract with the teacher.

Minimum amounts of additional payments are established in the regions. Today, in most of them, teachers who have industry awards or titles can count on the following increases established from the payment of the rate at 18:00:

• Honored teachers - 15-20%;
• Excellent students in education - 10%
• Honorary employees - 10%;
• those awarded other MO awards - 10%.

Other benefits

Unfortunately, the legislation of the Russian Federation does not provide for honorary and distinguished workers in the educational sector, practically any additional benefits, other than an increase in wages. But they can be installed at the regional or local level. For example, in the form of additional days of vacation or other privileges.

In a number of cases, honorary titles and other awards, together with experience worked in the field of education, provide grounds to apply for the title “Veteran of Labor” and all the benefits associated with it.
