The Presidential Library holds a contest "The Future of the Fatherland in the Hands of a Teacher"

Marking the Year of the Teacher and Mentor, the Presidential Library holds a contest of pedagogical projects "The Future of the Fatherland in the Hands of a Teacher". The contest partners are the Academy of the Ministry of Education of Russia and the online publication Uchitelskaya Gazeta.
