Duma Deputy Backs Higher Teacher Gift Limit
Moscow, August 16. The limit on the cost of gifts for teachers should be raised to at least 5,000 rubles, as the previously established amount does not correspond to current prices, says State Duma deputy Nikolay Novichkov.
Consensus
- The current legal limit on teacher gift value is outdated and does not match current prices.
- Duma deputy Nikolai Novikov supports increasing the gift limit to 5,000 rubles.
- Three thousand rubles is equivalent to a good bouquet of flowers or two boxes of good candy.
- Ethical moderation in gift-giving is important.
- The issue of teacher gift limits is part of a broader discussion on elevating the status of teachers.
- The proposed increase is intended to reflect the value of teachers' work.
Points of divergence
- Novikov proposed introducing inviolability for teachers, similar to that of Duma deputies and senators, as a legal mechanism to protect them. — vesti
- Irina Volynets, head of the National Parental Committee, stated that teachers cannot physically carry 25–30 bouquets and that gift-giving should not become a competition of wallets. — m24
