The current model, where teachers' incomes depend on the region or the municipality, provokes an exodus of personnel from poorer regions to richer regions. This is what the chairwoman of the State Duma Committee for the Protection of the Family, Fatherhood, Maternity and Childhood Issues, Nina Ustenina, said at the meeting of the committee's working group on the topic: "Family and School: Maintaining Traditional Spiritual Values". She recalled that earlier funding for teachers' salaries had already been transferred from the municipal level to the region, but it turned out to be insufficient. The deputy is convinced that the federal center should ensure basic salary standards so that the teacher's salary does not depend on his place of residence.
