I propose a federal program to support teachers returning to the profession. If a teacher leaves to work in another field, his knowledge and experience do not disappear. But after a few years of hiatus, the decision to return is not easy: plans and requirements have changed, and new digital tools have appeared. Needs support to return to the profession. He proposed that the Department of Education develop a federal "back to school" program. Free training, employment assistance, mentor for the first year of study. And a separate payment - in stages, after the first years of work and after, to support returnees for a long period. Such an experience already exists in Kobrov, Vladimir region: the municipal project provides one-time payments to returning teachers. I suggest studying its results and starting a federal pilot in areas where teachers are especially needed.
