The legal responsibility of teaching staff is one of the main and most important elements of the system of legal guarantees for the implementation of their duties and, thereby, an element of their legal status. Indeed, teachers' knowledge of both their duties and the responsibility they may incur for non-fulfillment or improper fulfillment of their official, official (functional) duties and, accordingly, the correct, adequate response, is the most important guarantee that the teacher will be able to to continue to carry out their professional pedagogical activity, to grow professionally and count on the effective guarantee of their civil and professional rights and legitimate interests.

As noted earlier, legal responsibility in relation to the subjects of educational legal relations can be conditionally subdivided into educational and legal responsibility (provided for by educational legislation) and “normal” responsibility, i.e. provided for by the norms of traditional branches of law, primarily labor, civil and administrative. This relativity reflects, it should be said, the specificity of educational relations, manifested in the fact that the norms, primarily of labor and civil law, regulating these relations, acquire an "educational and legal connotation", i.e., as noted in Chapter 2, represent a "special" part of the educational law.

Thus, the educational and disciplinary responsibility of pedagogical workers is generally provided for by the Law of the Russian Federation "On Education", and this responsibility is in many respects close to responsibility under labor law. This is on the one hand. On the other hand, this responsibility itself does not contain a legislative list of grounds and measures of responsibility; as a rule, their wording is of an indirect nature. For example, in clause 1 of article 13 of the law, the legislator obliges the educational institution to indicate in its Charter the rights and obligations of participants in the educational process. By means of broad interpretation, it becomes clear that this norm indirectly refers to the responsibility of teaching staff, which should contain the Charter. Firstly, teaching staff are one of the most important participants in the educational process, and, secondly, a variety of their legal duties is their legal responsibility.

In somewhat more detail, but again indirectly, the law speaks of the responsibility of teaching staff by listing the grounds for the responsibility of the educational institution itself (clause 3 of article 32), which was already discussed in the previous chapter. We only note that most of these grounds have a direct connection with the professional activities of teachers (subparagraphs 2), 3), 4) paragraph 3 of Art. 32).

"Educational and labor" responsibility of teaching staff is provided for in paragraph 4 of Art. 56 of the RF Law "On Education". Among the grounds for the dismissal of a teacher at the initiative of the administration of an educational institution (moreover, without the consent of the trade union of pedagogical workers), the legislator considers: 1) repeated gross violation of the charter of an educational institution during the year; 2) the use, including one-time, of educational methods associated with physical and (or) mental violence against the personality of the student, pupil; 3) appearance at work in a state of alcoholic, drug or toxic intoxication.

The Federal Law "On Higher and Postgraduate Professional Education", unlike the previous one, practically does not speak at all about the responsibility of higher education teachers. It is limited only by pointing out that "the provided academic freedoms entail academic responsibility for creating optimal conditions for the free search for truth, its free expression and dissemination."

It is obvious that the legislator took the path, firstly, of using the possibilities of sectoral legislation (labor, civil, administrative and, in special cases, criminal) and, secondly, the granting of rights for a more detailed regulation of the grounds and measures of responsibility of bylaws. However, as the analysis of model provisions (on a general educational institution and a higher educational institution) shows, the executive authorities also did not begin to formulate in detail the grounds and measures of legal responsibility of teachers, limiting themselves to the most general prescriptions and, like the legislator, referring to industry legislation. Thus, this problem of responsibility of teaching staff "fell on the shoulders" of the educational institutions themselves, in the form of their local normative legal acts - the Charter, internal regulations (IRR), etc.

So, in the aforementioned Charter of the Perm State Pedagogical University in paragraph 54, it is directly written that for violation of the Charter of the University, labor discipline, the Internal Regulations and the Rules of Residence in a hostel, disciplinary sanctions may be imposed on the University employees in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation: remark , reprimand, dismissal from work. " Section 6 of the IRP of the same University contains a very detailed description of both the disciplinary measures of the University employees and the procedure for their application. Some universities are expanding the list of disciplinary measures against their employees: in the Internal Regulations of the Ural Academy of Civil Service, in addition to remarks, reprimands and dismissals, there is also a severe reprimand (clause 31 of the TAP).

If we try to summarize the grounds for legal (educational, disciplinary and labor) responsibility to pedagogical workers of a general education institution (school teachers) and higher education institutions (university faculty), then they boil down to the following.

School teachersbear disciplinary responsibility for:

Repeated gross violation of the Charter of the educational institution during the year;

The use (even one-time) of the methods of education and training associated with physical and (or) mental violence against the personality of the student;

Appearance at work in a state of alcoholic, drug or toxic intoxication;

Inattention allowed to the life and health of children during lessons (classes), extracurricular and extracurricular activities;

Incorrect behavior towards the parents of students, colleagues;

Inappropriate behavior at work, in everyday life and in public places;

Failure to comply with the requirements of safety and labor protection, industrial sanitation, hygiene, fire and environmental safety.

Teaching staff of the universityis responsible for virtually the same offenses, but "adapted" to the conditions of pedagogical activity in higher education. For example, in accordance with clause 84 of the Charter of the Ural State University named after A.M. Gorky, research work is the responsibility of all full-time faculty, since research is an integral part of the training of specialists. Thus, non-fulfillment or poor-quality fulfillment of this obligation, established in a certain order (during certification, analysis of the quantity and quality of publications, etc.) can be considered as a basis for, for example, a reprimand to a teacher. The same can be said, for example, in relation to the systematic refusal of a teacher to improve his qualifications at faculties (institutes) of advanced training, etc.

In addition to the types of legal responsibility considered, pedagogical workers can (should) bear civil lawand material responsibility.Note that such responsibility is provided for by both educational legislation and civil and labor legislation itself.

In accordance with Art. 49 of the Law of the Russian Federation "On Education", the state, represented by authorized state educational authorities, in the event of poor-quality training of graduates by an accredited educational institution, has the right to sue this educational institution for reimbursing additional costs for retraining these graduates in other educational institutions (the basis for filing a claim is a complaint services for the quality of training students). As you can see, it does not speak about the responsibility of the teaching staff directly, but it is obvious that such responsibility is indirectly still available. In this case, we can talk (with a certain degree of convention) about a kind of "regressive" claim in the form of subsidiary responsibility of a pedagogical worker, to which the management of an educational institution can draw him on the results of certification procedures, inspections, etc. If, for example, a pedagogical worker violates the educational or other rights and legitimate interests of the student (humiliation of honor and dignity, insult, etc.), then there is, among other things, causing him moral damage. For this responsibility, in the event of initiation of a lawsuit, can (and should) be borne, of course, by the educational institution itself as a legal entity, the employee of which is this pedagogical worker. At the same time, an educational institution, depending on the specific situation, has the right to take responsibility measures, up to and including dismissal, to this employee.

A similar responsibility of the teacher is provided for by Part 1 of Art. 1068 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, according to which “a legal entity or a citizen shall compensate for harm caused by its employee in the performance of labor (official, official) duties.” It is important to emphasize that part 2 of the same article, workers in this case are citizens who perform work on on the basis of an employment contract (contract), as well as citizens performing work under a civil law contract, if at the same time they acted or had to act on the instructions of the relevant legal entity or citizen and under its control over the safe conduct of work. Pedagogical workers, as you can see, are fully subject to this provision of civil law. As for the harm (the Civil Code of the Russian Federation does not say what kind of harm - property or non-property - it is specifically talking about), it can be inflicted on pedagogical workers both to the educational institution itself, as well as to students and other employees of the educational institution. As for the actual content, size and significance of the harm, this is determined on the basis of the committed illegal act of the employee in the manner prescribed by law.

As for violations of labor legislation by a teacher, then disciplinary measures are applied to him, provided for in Art. 192 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, which include a remark, reprimand, dismissal. As already shown above, the educational legislation provides for (in fact, duplicates) all these measures, which gave reason to designate them as measures of educational and labor responsibility.

Finally, a pedagogical worker, like 45 and any other, can and must bear, in accordance with the established procedure, material responsibility provided for by Art. 232, 233, 238,241 -244, 246-248 of the Labor Code. By direct measures of such liability, compensation for direct actual damage caused to the cash property of the employer (educational institution (reduction of this property or deterioration of its condition) .In this case, the amount of material liability of the employee, as a rule, cannot exceed his monthly salary, unless otherwise provided by the Labor Code or other federal laws (Article 241 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation) In addition, and this is perhaps the most important thing: a teacher may be forced to compensate for damage in full (i.e. even if this damage exceeds the amount of the employee's monthly earnings) in a number of The law refers to these cases (Article 243 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation):

When, in accordance with the Labor Code or other federal laws, the employee is liable in full for damage caused to the employer in the performance of the employee's labor duties;

Lack of valuables entrusted to him on the basis of a special written contract or received by him under a one-time document;

Intentional infliction of damage;

Causing damage in a state of alcoholic, drug or toxic intoxication;

Causing damage as a result of criminal actions of an employee established by a court verdict;

Causing damage as a result of an administrative violation, if established by the relevant state authority;

Disclosure of information constituting a secret protected by law (official, commercial or other) in cases provided for by federal laws;

Causing damage not in the performance of an employee's job duties.

The legal responsibility of other categories of pedagogical workers, not considered in this paragraph, then, in principle, does not differ from the responsibility of school teachers and the teaching staff of higher educational institutions.

As a conclusion, it should be noted that the issues of legal responsibility of teachers as an important element of their legal status in Russian educational legislation have not yet found their proper reflection. In this regard, it is again appropriate to draw attention to the Draft General Part of the RF Code on Education, in which for the first time its developers paid close attention to the topic of legal responsibility of various categories of participants in educational legal relations, including pedagogical workers. 16 Articles of Chapter 19 of the Project are devoted to this, which, I think, is quite correct. In particular, in addition to the "traditional" disciplinary measures provided for in Art. 192 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, article 193 of the Draft proposes to establish another measure of responsibility: the temporary suspension of a teacher who has committed a misdemeanor from teaching for a period until the end of a quarter (at school) or a semester (at a university).

This is a general characteristic of the legal responsibility of teachers, attention to which in the context of improving educational legislation and increasing the role and importance of discipline in all spheres of society, including, perhaps, especially, in the field of education, will undoubtedly increase.

Questions for self-examination, reflection, practical tasks

What are the reasons and the need to distinguish between groups of educators? Provide arguments, beyond those discussed in the chapter, that educators are indeed the central category of educators.

How do the legal statuses of different categories of educational workers differ? What are the implications of these differences?

3. What are the essential differences between the concepts of "subjective law" and "legitimate interest" in relation to a teacher. Try to graphically "construct" the legal status of: a) primary school teacher; b) a teacher of the senior classes of a general education institution; c) a teacher of higher education. Highlight and comment on the main differences between these statuses.

4. Analyze the main local regulatory legal acts of your university (Charter, Internal Regulations, etc.) in order to identify in them the basic rights and obligations of the teaching staff of your university. Try to systematize them in terms of their belonging to different groups: educational (pedagogical), personal (civil), political, economic, incl. labor, social, cultural, informational.

5. Try to compile your own classification of offenses of teachers of various categories. Could you suggest to the legislator any new measures of legal responsibility of a teacher and the grounds on which it can be imposed?

Over the past decade, the social situation in Moscow has changed. One of the indicators of this is the emergence of a middle class in society, the formation of which has led to sociocultural challenges. The correct answer to them may be an attempt to create a situation in which Moscow teachers, as one of the key elements of the education system, acquire economic, cultural, and psychological characteristics of the middle class.
The modern middle class wants to send their children to good schools, expecting that this will help them to become successful, which they can, as a rule, only by learning from a successful teacher. Unfortunately, the current situation in education in this context is far from ideal. According to the sociological survey "Education in Moscow 2.2.", Respondents - social customers - are not always satisfied with the quality of educational services provided by organizations implementing general education programs (the index as of November 2013 was minus 10). I would especially like to note that this indicator is presented against the background of an extremely high assessment of the qualification level of school workers (+21) and a high degree of satisfaction with such parameters as the state of the material and technical base (+18), provision of modern high-tech equipment (+25), security participants in educational relations (+45), availability of places in schools of the capital (+ 49).
Analyzing the situation, it can be assumed that, despite the active comprehensive modernization of the industry, Muscovites, noting positive changes, on the other hand, listen to the position of teachers and school administrators. A certain circle of teachers, even after a significant increase in wages, did not change much mentally. They still talk about the difficult financial condition of the teacher, the volume of papers and reports, and the low social status in society. In my opinion, school administrations, when talking to parents, sometimes talk about the poor state of schools, the difficult financial and economic situation, justify their internal problems with decisions that are made "from above".
What is the reason for this position? Probably, it's that it's easier to be weak to some extent. Many mistakes, a weak level of teaching, an insufficient professional level of employees can be attributed to the weakness of the education system as a whole, such a justification is heard by our parents and have no reason not to believe.
It seems to me that our task is to become a strong school in the eyes of the population. The school is fully responsible for its actions. A school that makes decisions on its own and is ready to justify them to the parent community. The basis of a strong school is responsible teachers.
Changes in income levels mean changes in society's requirements for teachers. Earning more, the teacher must change the requirements for himself, change the internal standards. A graduate of a modern school must be able to create a world around him and realize himself, having competencies in formulating new ideas, selecting a team, finding resources for their implementation. To teach him all this, the teacher must be able to do it himself, must be satisfied with his position in society and be interested in his work.
In our school, activities aimed at improving the efficiency and quality of work of the teaching staff and the educational organization as a whole are carried out in several areas:
- improving and increasing the efficiency of the teaching staff;
- marketing of educational services;
- PR of an educational institution.
I can note the use of coaching technologies in the field of self-improvement of the teacher's personality, interaction with the laboratory of information support for the development of education of the IIEO in the field of project activities, cooperation with the Moscow State Medical University. IM Sechenov in the framework of a comprehensive program on the problems of health preservation of the teacher and the prevention of health risks. Heads of structural divisions in the framework of joint work with teachers prepare individual plans for personal development, self-education, professional development. The psychological service regularly conducts trainings for teachers on interaction with participants in educational relations, stress resistance. To increase the openness of the school, we actively use the capabilities of the website, electronic magazine, and the media. Traditionally, for the residents of the district we hold fairs for additional education, mass and sports events, open days, lectures and master classes for parents.
At the level of an educational organization, it is possible to build a phased system that will gradually change the mentality of teaching staff. A young teacher should clearly understand that he chooses the professional activity that should give him comparable opportunities with those that would arise if he started working in business, journalism, management. In commercial structures, a person always outlines certain milestones of social development for himself, the same should happen in the education system.
At the level of the Government of the Russian Federation, there is a clearly formulated task of developing the middle class. Such a presidential order is also a task for the education system, on the other hand, it is obvious that this state order is also supported by the parental community.
Undoubtedly, we should not forget about the management team of the entire educational organization, which is responsible for the implementation of these tasks, at the head of which can and should be a modern, successful, mobile, competent leader.
Thus, a single educational space of the city should be formed, a space that consists of strong schools offering high-quality educational services of a high level on the basis of free competition. Each Moscow parent should have an understanding of the full responsibility of each individual teacher and each institution for the quality of his services without any discounts and indulgences. In this I see the fundamental basis for the development of the district's education system.

S. KORYSHEV, Director of School No. 1370

Parents of a student often wonder about the relationship between teacher and student. In the Russian Federation, the pedagogical segment operates on the basis of a professional charter, which has federal significance. Therefore, educational workers - teachers carry out their activities in accordance with its provisions.

What rights and formal obligations do school teachers have will be discussed later.

What rights does a teacher have at school in 2018

In any educational organization, a proper education program assumes the following preferences for school teachers:

• receive a commensurate monetary remuneration, in accordance with the existing qualifications;
• have all the basic conditions for the provision of educational services;
• count on help in organizing the educational process from the head of the school;
• enjoy all social and material guarantees calculated by law for the budget category;
• receive the due vacation in accordance with the schedule of activities.

Does the teacher have the right to expel a student from the lesson?

Such a right in relation to the teacher is not enshrined anywhere. If a student systematically violates discipline, or by his actions interferes with the educational process, then the school teacher in these cases will not be able to expel him from the class. This is a violation of the formal job description, which can serve as the application of sanctions against a specialist.

Instead of expelling a student from the class, thereby disrupting the educational order, the specialist should call the school leadership into the class, which will certainly find ways to solve the problem described. Independent educational measures are not allowed here.

Does the teacher have the right to pick up the student's phone?

Relationships should formally be built on the basis of professional teaching ethics. A school teacher, especially in primary grades, must understand that he will have to work in difficult conditions. But despite this, it is impossible to apply independent measures of influence in relation to students. This is spelled out in the dispositions of methodological recommendations under number 351-FZ (MO November 2016). Therefore, it is impossible to pick up the phone, even during the lesson.

In this regard, parents ask themselves the question of whether the teacher has the right to take the phone away from the student, the article provides for responsibility for this action? First of all, there is no such article. Secondly, the teacher should contact the school management with a description of the problem.

Is it legal to raise your voice to students?

Also, parents are interested in whether the teacher has the right to raise his voice to the student? Unlike other reasons, this should not be taken too categorically. If a specialist shouts at a child during the educational process, without becoming personalized and without direct insults, then this will not be considered a violation.

School safety instructions can be studied and downloaded for free

What the teacher has no right to do in relation to the student?

Actions that are unacceptable within any school are expressed in the following:

• no offensive remarks can be made;
• have a physical impact;
• put in a corner;
• kick out of the classroom;
• take (even during the lesson) personal belongings - phones, toys, players, and other devices;
• screaming with a departure from the educational process;
• show a personal attitude towards the child, bypassing the educational process.
• A specialist has no right to do these actions in any school of the Russian Federation.

Responsibility for insulting a student

Such responsibility may include a one-time disciplinary action. If these violations are already systematic, then the law in this case assumes responsibility in the form of direct expulsion from the school staff.

Therefore, the question of whether a teacher has the right to insult a student in front of the whole class is in itself irrelevant. Direct insults against the student are not allowed either in private or in the classroom.

Responsibilities of a teacher in schools under the new education law

The profile law (351-FZ) underwent the last changes in November 2016.

In accordance with them, teachers, as part of their formal activities, have the following conditional responsibilities:

• work to transfer knowledge within the framework of their qualifications;
• evaluate the efforts, diligence, and other qualities of students only according to objective criteria;
• do not use any subjective knowledge assessment schemes;
• in case of violations, do not take independent actions;
• going beyond the limits indicated by the job description, and immediately contact the management of the conditional school.

Frequently asked questions about this article

What are the rights of a teacher at school?

In any educational organization, the teacher has the following rights: to receive monetary remuneration, to have conditions for the provision of educational services, to count on help from the head of the school, to use social and material guarantees, to receive the prescribed leave.

Does a teacher have the right to kick a student out of class?

Instead of expelling a student from the class, thereby disrupting the educational order, the specialist should call the school leadership into the class, which will certainly find ways to solve the problem described. Independent educational measures are not allowed here.

Is the teacher allowed to take the student's phone?

It is impossible to use independent measures of influence in relation to students. This is spelled out in 351-FZ. Therefore, it is impossible to pick up the phone, even during the lesson. It is better to discuss the student's unacceptable behavior with the school management and call the parents to the school to solve the problem.

You should not be too categorical about this. If a specialist shouts at a child during the educational process, without becoming personalized and without direct insults, then this will not be considered a violation. Raising the voice, as such, may not be at all, because a person can naturally have a high voice.

What actions are forbidden for the teacher to do in relation to the student?

Social responsibility of the preschool teacher.

"It is impossible to live in society and be free from society!" The modern world requires people in general and, in particular, from teacher, to be responsible member of society... We live in a world where almost every our word or action is reflected in the actions of the younger generation of our fellow citizens.

An important task of our work has always been, is and will be a worthy education of the citizens of our country. The older generation should convey to the young not only unfounded love for the Motherland, but also show by their own examples how to make our world more moral, humane and educated. Entrepreneurial children who make their own decisions and know how to make choices should become the foundation of the next generation of our compatriots. So only socially responsible teacher can raise such children. Today professional teacherpossessing communicative competence, has the ability to exert social influence on society. He can and should engage in social activities, have his own ideas to improve the lives of fellow citizens, and put them into practice. The educator should not be limited by the framework of his professional work. Educator, who knows how to translate constructive ideas into reality, draws caring people along with him. They sometimes take up some business together, which in the end result brings not only moral satisfaction, but also the opportunity to carry out some specific business with the benefit of society. This business, as in our case, can be the arrangement of a playground, patronage over a pine park, taking care of veterans and much, much more. It is imperative to involve young people and children in work. By an illustrative example, by interacting, we can positively influence the education of young people, as well as their parents.

"Unity is strength". Educatorprofessionally performing his social obligations, forms civil society and contributes to the revival and strengthening of the morality of the younger generation.

Speech at the seminar "Social readiness of the child for schooling" Many teachers feel that both children and teachers have a harder time than they used to. They note that everything has changed: both children and their parents.

Legal responsibility in relation to the subjects of educational legal relations can be conditionally subdivided into educational and legal responsibility (provided for by educational legislation) and “normal” responsibility, i.e. provided for by the norms of traditional branches of law, primarily labor, civil and administrative. This relativity reflects the specificity of educational relations, which is manifested in the fact that the norms, primarily of labor and civil law, regulating these relations, acquire an "educational and legal connotation" represent a "special" part of the educational law.

Thus, the educational and disciplinary responsibility of teaching staff is generally provided for by the Law of the Russian Federation "On Education", and this responsibility is in many respects close to the responsibility under labor law. This is on the one hand. On the other hand, this responsibility itself does not contain a legislative list of grounds and measures of responsibility; as a rule, their wording is of an indirect nature.

If we try to generalize the grounds for legal (educational, disciplinary and labor) responsibility to teaching staff, then they boil down to the following.

Educators are disciplined for:

• - repeated gross violation of the Charter of the educational institution during the year;
• - the use (even one-time) of methods of education and training associated with physical and (or) mental abuse of the student's personality;
• - appearance at work in a state of alcoholic, drug or toxic intoxication;
• - carelessness allowed to the life and health of children during lessons (classes), outside of educational activities;
• - inappropriate behavior in relation to the parents of students, colleagues;
• - unworthy behavior at work, in everyday life and in public places;
• - non-compliance with the requirements of safety and labor protection, industrial sanitation, hygiene, fire and environmental safety.

In addition to the types of legal responsibility considered, pedagogical workers can (should) bear civil and material responsibility. Such responsibility is provided for both by educational legislation and by civil and labor legislation itself.

For violation of labor regulations, professional behavior, teachers and other employees of educational institutions associated with the learning process bear disciplinary, administrative and criminal responsibility.

For committing a disciplinary offense, i.e. non-fulfillment or improper fulfillment of labor duties due to the fault of a pedagogical worker, the following disciplinary sanctions may be imposed on him:

comment;

dismissal on appropriate grounds.

The grounds for termination of an employment contract (dismissal) are provided for by labor legislation; in addition, the grounds for the dismissal of a teacher on the initiative of the administration are:

• - repeated gross violation of the charter of an educational institution within one year;
• - application, including one-time, methods of education associated with physical and (or) mental violence against the personality of the student, pupil.

A disciplinary investigation of violations by a pedagogical worker of the norms of professional behavior and (or) the charter of an educational institution can be carried out only upon a complaint filed against him in writing. A copy of the complaint must be handed over to the teacher.

The course of a disciplinary investigation and the decisions taken as a result of its results can be made public only with the consent of the concerned pedagogical worker, with the exception of cases leading to the prohibition of engaging in pedagogical activity, or, if necessary, to protect the interests of students.

For non-fulfillment or improper fulfillment of the duties of raising minors by a pedagogical or other employee of an educational institution obliged to supervise minors, if this act is connected with cruel treatment, criminal liability has been established.

The Criminal Code of the Russian Federation provides as a criminal punishment deprivation of the right to engage in certain activities for a period of one to five years.

A pedagogical worker, like any other, can and must bear, in the prescribed manner, material liability provided for in Art. 232, 233, 238,241 -244, 246-248 of the Labor Code.

By direct measures of such liability, compensation for direct actual damage caused to the cash property of the employer of the educational institution (reduction of this property or deterioration of its condition). At the same time, the amount of the employee's material liability cannot exceed, as a rule, his monthly salary, unless otherwise provided by the Labor Code or other federal laws (Article 241 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

In addition, and this is perhaps the most important thing: a teacher can be forced to compensate for damage in full (that is, even if this damage exceeds the amount of the employee's monthly earnings) in a number of cases. The law refers to these cases (Article 243 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation):

• - when, in accordance with the Labor Code or other federal laws, the employee is liable in full for damage caused to the employer in the performance of the employee's labor duties;
• - shortage of valuables entrusted to him on the basis of a special written contract or received by him under a one-time document;
• - deliberate infliction of damage;
• - causing damage in a state of alcoholic, drug or toxic intoxication;
• - damage caused as a result of criminal actions of an employee, established by a court verdict;
• - damage caused as a result of an administrative violation, if such is established by the relevant state authority;
• - disclosure of information constituting a secret protected by law (official, commercial or other), in cases provided for by federal laws;
• - damage caused not during the performance of the employee's work duties.

Thus, the issues of legal responsibility of teachers as an important element of their legal status in Russian educational legislation have not yet found their proper reflection. However, the characteristic of the legal responsibility of teachers is of great importance in the context of improving educational legislation and increasing the role and importance of discipline in all spheres of society, including in the field of education.
