The State Duma Committee on Education intends to develop a bill banning photography and video filming in the classroom without the permission of the school administration or teacher. This statement was made by the head of the committee Olga Kazakova.
She explained that such a proposal was born from the appeal of teachers. They argue that “it is necessary to finish the lessons with video and photography,” Kazakova specified. According to her, children should think about the lessons, and not about when they will take out the phone and start filming “some situation.”
The parliamentarian, citing teachers’ complaints, adds that children allegedly deliberately create situations where teachers can be put in an “unsightly light”, all this is recorded on video, and then posted on social networks.
“This is absolutely worthless,” Kazakova stressed.
If children do not understand this, it is necessary to create conditions when it will be completely impossible to do this, she added.
Meanwhile, earlier, due to video filming by students, data on a number of conflict situations in schools appeared in the media and social networks, after which measures were taken.
For example, last week there was a recording in which a teacher dragged a student out of the classroom by force. As the media wrote, the head of the cadet class did not like the boy’s hairstyle, and he refused to leave the room. On this fact, the RF IC began an investigation.
There was also a video in which a teacher in Sylva, Perm region, scolded an eighth-grader for being late to an event on the occasion of February 23rd. The teacher rudely called the schoolboy and told him to “blame on all four sides.” The Ministry of Education of the region called the woman’s behavior unacceptable.
And in January 2023, the deputy director for educational work of one of the schools in the Krasnodar Territory used physical punishment against two students.
