A teacher may first issue a warning to a student for violating classroom discipline, and upon repeated violations, may involve educational institution staff for a preventive conversation.
Consensus
- The Ministry of Education has established a new regulation on teacher response to student disciplinary violations.
- The regulation will take effect from September 1, 2026.
- Teachers must first issue an oral warning when a student disrupts class.
- If the disruption repeats during the same lesson, the teacher may involve a school employee responsible for discipline.
- A preventive conversation with the student is to be conducted by the designated staff member.
- After the conversation, the teacher decides whether to return the student to class and inform their parents.
- The regulation applies to all schools in Russia.
Points of divergence
