One of the advantages of working as a teacher is the right to early retirement. Since 1959, there has been a long-service pension for teaching staff. Teachers, kindergarten teachers, university professors and other educational workers with more than twenty-five years of experience could count on her.
In 2001, new rules for calculating pension benefits appeared. Long service pensions were abolished. Instead, preferential pensions appeared. For teachers, this change was rather formal. The accrual of long-service pensions for teaching staff has, in fact, been preserved, but acquired a new name. Although the rules for calculating and calculating pensions have changed, teachers still retain the right to retire earlier than the age norm established in the country for men and women.
After 2001, preferential pensions were introduced
Let's consider what conditions a teaching worker must fulfill in order for him to have a preferential pension (length of service, pay), as well as innovations for 2021.
How can a teacher earn a preferential pension?
The size of a future teacher's pension depends on the amount of contributions to the Pension Fund. The more contributions, the higher the pension will be. At the same time, teaching staff also need to monitor working time standards in order to maintain the right to a preferential pension.
An educator can receive a pedagogical pension only if a combination of three conditions are met:
Full time teacher
Future retirees should pay special attention to the last item from the above list. A year of teaching experience will be counted only if a certain number of hours are worked per week.
For different representatives of the teaching professions, these standards are established individually:
There are some exceptions. Additional benefits are provided to teachers from rural schools. They are not required to work full-time for the entire 25 years. To receive a preferential pension, such teachers do not need to confirm their working hours. A similar condition has been established for primary school teachers.
Heads of educational institutions may also fail to comply with working time standards. This:
- Deputy Head for Academic Affairs;
- Deputy Head for Educational Work;
- Deputy Head for Training and Production Work;
- Deputy Head for Educational Work.
For a person in the years when he held one of the above positions, working time standards are not taken into account when considering the right to a preferential pension.
But the head of an educational institution will have to confirm his teaching work on an equal basis with ordinary employees. Its volume must be at least 240 hours per year. The director does not have to teach only at his own institution. He can conduct classes in several educational institutions in order to fulfill the required annual quota.
It is most difficult for citizens holding the following positions:
- Deputy Head for Research;
- Deputy Director for Methodological Work.
They can also use years of service in specified positions to receive a preferential pension. But in this case, you should provide documents that can serve as confirmation of direct participation in the educational process.
What counts towards teaching experience?
Years of work in educational institutions are counted as teaching experience. Moreover, the citizen must work in a profession or occupy a position specified in the List of Specialties. 1 year of work in one of the positions in the list of specialties is considered as 1 year of experience for a preferential pension.
What counts towards teaching experience?
The experience also includes time:
- paid leave (both annual and additional);
- temporary disability (illness);
- maternity leave;
- study leave;
- probationary period when hiring;
- attending advanced training courses;
- studying at an educational institution (until 1993).
The most questions and disputes arise regarding the inclusion of parental leave in the length of service for a preferential pension.
Until 1992, a woman could stay at home with her child for one and a half years. This period could be taken into account in the 25 years of experience required to receive a teacher’s pension. Since October 1992, this rule has ceased to apply. The entire period of parental leave is not included in the length of service for a preferential teacher's pension. This issue has been raised more than once by legislators.
In 2004, this problem was considered by the Constitutional Court. He put an end to this dispute. The period of maternity leave after October 1992 is not taken into account in teaching experience. If a woman was on maternity leave before October 1992, then the old norms apply to her. Therefore, the Pension Fund will take into account her one and a half years of preferential teaching experience.
Teacher's pension in 2021. Teachers say that a salary is not a salary and a pension is not a pension.
I have been working as a teacher for over 20 years. I know what salaries are in schools. I, of course, heard complaints from teachers who were retiring that their size was very modest.
But I was very surprised by the responses from teachers to my article on pensions. This is some kind of real cry from the soul. This is, if you like, a disgrace for the state.
Where is it, Vladimir Vladimirovich? They say that social media posts that get more than a million views are placed on his desk. Of course, no one will show him my articles, which are read by tens of thousands of teachers. It's a pity.
Is the President generally aware of what is happening in the country?
How can one set the goal of becoming one of the five largest economies in the world if teachers receive such a pension? We also plan to enter the top ten countries in terms of education level.
I just give the floor to the teachers. It’s painful and bitter to read this, but this is our life. I intentionally do not make copyright edits. Let it be like a document. If you want, a testament to the era. After this, let them tell us their fairy tales on TV.
Writes Nadezhda B.
It's a shame! Pensioners all over the world travel and enjoy their holidays, but Russian pensioners cannot afford this with their “deserved” money. And they can’t do much. Where's the justice? I am 63 years old. Work experience at school 43 years, workload 1.5 rates = 20 thousand (with incentives), pension 13 thousand. There is no queue for my place in the village. I love my job very much, but I am offended by this attitude towards teaching work. And no matter how much they talk about a raise (in reality they add ridiculous amounts, but the conversation...), but things are still there! Our generation is not spoiled, we are used to work, but... it’s a shame!
It's a shame, that's not the right word. Hands down.
Maya S. Short, but punchy.
I’ve been at school for 33 years, pension 10155, I’ll probably die on the move. We'll have to work as hard as we can...
Olga M. takes the floor.
I am a primary school teacher, I am 61 years old. Work experience as a teacher for 39 years. My pension is 9,700 rubles. Is it possible to live on such a pension? It's a shame to receive such a meager pension!
Let's count, gentlemen. Of the ten thousand pension, let the teacher spend 6000 on food. And 3000 for utilities. There are 1000 rubles left. What can you afford for it?
This is why hundreds of thousands of teachers continue to work in retirement. These are modern “serfs” of Russian education.
Let's give the floor to Elena Z.
When I retired “according to length of service,” I received 3,500, now it’s 12,000, and I’m still working. And at 61 I already want to relax! But if I stop working, what will I live on?!
Lyubov S. Hastens to share her bitterness.
3 years of teaching experience with a heavy workload. Pension 11,200. And for those who have been a parasite all their life, worked 100 jobs and never really worked anywhere, or even spent time in prison, they have a minimum wage of 12,000. It’s a shame. Why were we so offended, because they invested their whole souls in other people’s children, raising respectable and competent people for Russia.
It is important that people write this in the “Here and Now” mode. This is our reality. I published an article about pensions several years ago.
Elena K.
I am 67 years old, I have 50 years of teaching experience along with studying at a university, but I am forced to work while still at school, since the pension is 12,256 rubles.
Of course, in my article I do not want to single out teachers as a category of socially “selected”. It’s just that I work as a teacher, that’s why I write about teachers’ problems. But, apparently, not a single teacher is doing so badly. Here is a comment from Alexander B.
They told you: there is no money, but you hold on. Or do you think that with a small salary there will be a large pension? Doctors I know have retired. The dentist received 10,800 rubles. Therapist - 12,000 rubles pension. This is below the national average. It is impossible to live on that kind of money. But you all remain silent and vote FOR. So who is to blame but yourself and your spinelessness?
As they say, we, of course, know who is to blame.
But what to do?

Registration of a preferential pension
Applying for a preferential pension should be done in advance. A citizen can independently check how the positions he held during his working life are recorded in the work book, and whether they coincide with the names in the List of Specialties. If there are inconsistencies, it is better to resolve this issue before contacting the Pension Fund. You should contact the organization where the teaching activity took place to obtain documents confirming the teaching activity.
About a year before your expected retirement, you can contact the territorial body of the Pension Fund. If inaccuracies and errors are found in the documents, government agency employees can assist in obtaining the necessary information.

How is a teacher's pension calculated?
The preferential pension for teaching staff is calculated using the same formula as for other pensioners:
SP is the size of the pension.
IPC – individual pension coefficient. In 2019, it must be at least 16.2 for a teacher. Only upon reaching this value does a person have the right to early retirement.
SPK – pension point value. In 2021 – 87.24 rubles.
FV – additional payment. In 2021 – 5334.19 rubles.
KvFV – increasing coefficient.
It applies to late registration of pensions.
Experience and requirements for the list of teaching positions for preferential pensions
General work experience remains one of the main rules and requirements. It is a minimum of 25 years for teaching staff.
The following periods of work are included in the length of service:
- Annual paid vacation.
- The period of time until an employee finds a new job after being fired.
- All full working days, with appropriate documentary evidence.
Training is also included in the length of service starting in 2021. At least if before and after this work was carried out in the relevant field. Then the early assignment of pensions to teaching staff is permissible.
Changes for 2021
In 2021, a transition period has begun for a preferential teacher pension. The retirement age for men and women has been increased. Such changes also affected the procedure for registering a teacher’s pension.
Changes in the pension system 2021
Starting from 2021, a deferment has been introduced for this category of payments. Those. You can retire only after a certain period after completing 25 years of service. In 2021, the deferment period is 1 year. Every year its size increases by another 1 year.
However, there are some benefits. If a teacher has accumulated 25 years of experience in the period from 01/01/2019 to 12/31/2020, then the deferment can be reduced by 6 months.
Let's look at an example. A person’s teaching experience will reach 25 years in May 2021. He may retire as early as November 2021. If the 25-year period of service begins in May 2021, then you will be able to retire only in May 2014.
Only teachers whose work experience was completed before 01/01/2019 can retire according to the old rules (i.e., without a deferment period), but the person did not apply for a preferential pension. In this case, there will be no deferment when assigning a pension.
Baby care. Nanny
Many people go into the teaching profession because they love to take care of young children and their development. In this regard, a number of former teachers choose the profession of child care worker or nanny. It is not at all necessary that this is child care in wealthy families with high incomes. Children may be brought to your home while their parents go to work. There are teachers who even create small mini kindergartens.
Of course, nannies often live in the home where they work. Although their specific responsibilities may vary, supervision and supervision of children is usually the primary responsibility. Nannies may also be responsible for preparing meals, transporting children, and organizing and supervising extracurricular activities that support children's development. Many of the skills that teachers honed in school, including communication skills, study skills and patience, can be transferred to the child care profession.
