(KZN.RU,
August 23, Anton Nozdrin). Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan, urged for
introducing the practice of public reports of school directors to parents and
staff. The head of the city voiced such a recommendation at the city conference
of educators in the educational and laboratory building of the Volga Academy of
Physical Culture, Sports, and Tourism.
I. Metshin
reminded that billions of budget funds are spent on education in the country
now. And this sphere is the most expensive in the city budget. The Mayor noted
that the full support of talented teachers and pupils will continue in the
future. “But only the material base cannot make education qualitative,
interactive whiteboard and computer will not replace a teacher for children”,
marked I. Metshin.
He said
that a lot of things in schools depends on the heads of institutions, on the
ability of directors to form a team of like-minded people, to build a
constructive dialogue with parents, and introduce the most advanced experience.
It is the regular reports and the transparency of the entire system that should
help make the parents the main allies. “This form of communication will help
explain to parents the course that the school adheres to, tell them about the
profiles the school is developing, and simply be with them in a live dialogue”,
explained the Mayor.
