PROFESSIONAL AND MORAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PARTICIPANTS IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

Abstract

The article is devoted to clarifying the essence and content of the labor duties of employees who ensure the fulfillment of the educational function of the state. Participants in the educational process are pedagogical, scientific-pedagogical and scientific workers, whose rights and obligations are defined by laws. The performance of labor duties by employees engaged in educational activities involves not only maintaining a high professional level, but also special requirements for the behavior of such employees. The professional level is determined by the attestation of teaching and research workers and the awarding of scientific titles and academic degrees to teaching and research workers. The decision of the attestation commission on the incompatibility of the employee with the position held or the work performed may be the basis for the day of termination of the employment relationship. Failure to assign or deprive an employee of a higher education institution of an academic title or scientific degree is not a reason to terminate employment with such an employee due to insufficient qualifications. Pedagogical, scientificpedagogical and scientific workers are obliged by guidance and personal example to establish respect for social morality and social values, that is, to perform educational functions, both during the performance of work duties and outside of them. The actions of an employee who performs educational functions, contrary to the requirements of morality, may be recognized as immoral and become grounds for the dismissal of the employee. However, in each specific case of dismissal for immoral misconduct, it is necessary to take into account whether the employee's job duties are related to the performance of educational functions or not. Committing an immoral offense can be grounds for dismissal only of an employee who performs educational functions. Since the legislation does not provide for a list of employees who perform educational functions, it is proposed to recognize as such employees all those who occupy pedagogical, scientificpedagogical and scientific positions defined by the legislation, as well as all those working in educational institutions, regardless of position.
