4. How the recruitment and selection of the human resources are done in our countries? (For the professors and the other persons of the staff). The status of teachers (laws, regulations).
based on the law of public education and its regulations
It is done by the principal of the school
have to fill in an application form and submit their diploma, CV
there five degrees of qualification
sometimes teachers have to sit an exam before the interview
teachers with a degree of qualification are more preferable

5. Evaluation of teacher’s job
special elaborated chart
Requirements considered in evaluation of teacher’s job
planning and organization of the teaching process
work in a team and on projects
achievements with students at Olympiads and competitions
individual work with students and their parents as well

6. How does our educational system motivate the teachers
How does our educational system motivate the teachers? What rewards (awards)? What salaries?
Motivation is still not well-developed
teachers’ salary is not much popular now
each school has a different delegate budget
80% of this money is given for teachers’ salary
teachers with qualification receive a certain amount of money for each degree
teachers with achievements with students are given same extra money per lesson to develop further students’ knowledge

7. The social importance of teachers work for the development of the school as institution and the society as a whole
the quality of secondary education is good
the problem is that most of the best high-graduated students leave the country
Lack of good specialists has negative effects on the development of the economy of the country
young people do not choose the career of a teacher very often

8. The possibilities and the requirements for the in-service training of the teachers in our countries
the courses of degree qualification are voluntary
there are different in-service courses organized by the ministry of education
attending different cultural events organized by cultural institutes, done especially for language teachers
annual conferences in different subjects with reports and discussions
there are courses running at our school aiming to broaden teachers’ knowledge
scientific magazines with articles about teachers’ experience and shared knowledge

9. How are the teachers organized at FLS “Romain Rolland” What structures, what responsibilities?
teachers are organized in subject units
there is one main teacher
this structure is well-working
all teachers are well-informed

10. Relationships between teachers, between the teachers and the managers of the school
the relationships are professional and friendly
most teachers work together in teams
it is the right formula for students and teachers’ success
teachers are together when there is something to celebrate, too

11. The role of the collective opinion
suggestions coming from different units are voted
sometimes there are a lot of debates
there are no subjective decisions.

12. Mechanism for defense of the staff in a situation of conflict or crisis - syndicates
there are three teacher’s syndicates
to be member of them is thoroughly voluntary
there is a general contract with the ministry of education
the contract is debated and all extra suggestions are considered and voted by the members
they are submitted to the principal
there are negotiations between the principal and the leaders of the syndicates
when they agree the contract is signed.

13. Thank you for your attention!
