Kherson teachers and students boycott "Russian schools" – mayor

VIKTORIIA ANDRIEIEVA – FRIDAY, 22 JULY 2022

In temporarily occupied Kherson, staff and students ignore "Russian schools".

However, the Ukrainian administration does everything within its power to provide students with quality education and keep teachers employed, reports Yurii Sobolevskyi, the mayor of Kherson.

"Due to the patriotism of the members of the educational institutions of Kherson, the occupying administration is facing big problems while preparing for the school year.

The "Crimean pedagogical landing team" didn’t work either. Citizens from the Crimea are not eager to move to the Kherson region to work in the educational sector there", stated the mayor.

For this reason, the occupiers have to hire collaborators with no pedagogical training to hold managerial positions.

Due to the "understaffing" a janitor has been appointed "deputy mayor"  in Berdiansk, and a security guard has become a "theatre director" in Kherson.
