Some Ukrainian teachers of retirement age refuse to sign labor contracts with the annual renewals, which provides the law on General secondary education.

About this Facebook said the Director of the Department of education and science of Odessa city Council Elena buynevich, noting that such a rule is inappropriate and discriminatory, and teachers perceive it as a personal humiliation.

“The law of complete General secondary education provides for the conclusion of fixed-term contracts with the teachers retirement age. What does it mean? The Directors prior to July 1, shall enter into (and enter into) contracts with teachers who have reached this age. For one year. And then you can continue … if the teacher refuses, he should be fired” – she wrote.

According to buynevich, many of her teacher friends refuse to enter into such agreements.

“Colleagues whom I know personally, refuse to enter into contracts. Take it as a personal humiliation (for the conditions, I repeat, not equal) and … gone. Say, conceited? Yes. And can it be an example of a characterless man? Are good teachers. People receive a pension. Have the opportunity to do tutoring. And the Directors can’t find words to convince you are needed by the children, a school, the right education,” she said.
