What is included in the teaching experience and how is it calculated
Citizens of the Russian Federation who work in the field of education have special privileges when calculating the length of service required to retire. When calculating the teaching experience, a number of factors are taken into account: the availability of academic degrees, the amount of work performed per year in hours, and others.
What is included in the teaching experience
The list of professions that can be taken into account when calculating such an experience is quite extensive. Consider the main positions that the employee occupies and the organizations in which it is necessary to carry out his labor activity:- Organizations of an educational nature, social security and medical direction (sanatoriums, orphanages, etc.): teachers, physical education leaders, methodologists, music leaders, coaches, psychologists, directors and their deputies, heads of individual departments of the institution, educational methodologists, guides.
- Universities that train specialists and masters - the entire faculty.
- Military institutions for the production of specialists with higher and secondary education - employees holding the positions of professors and teachers.
- Institutions whose work is related to raising the level of qualifications, methodological institutions (regardless of the department to which they belong): administration, directors and their deputies, teachers, heads of individual departments (departments, laboratories, sectors), methodologists.
- Managing and governing bodies of the education sector - heads of departments, inspectors, instructors (positions related to construction, procurement, financial and economic activities are excluded).

How to count teaching experience for retirement
The calculation of educational experience in the implementation of retirement has the following features:- Since 2000, the length of service is calculated taking into account how many hours a particular employee has worked - for a whole calendar year, the value of such hours should be at least 240, while their number per working week should not be less than 6 hours.
- In the event that a person applying for a pension early worked in educational institutions for the graduation of students with a secondary vocational education, the mandatory production rate is already higher - it will be at least 360 hours.
- There are special positions for which the minimum permissible number of hours worked is not taken into account - these include primary school teachers and those educational specialists who worked in rural areas.
- The presence of a minimum value of the individual pension coefficient (IPC). In 2017, it should be 11.4, and for each next year its value increases by 2.4 (this methodology will be applied until 2025, when the IPC value reaches 30).
- The applicant for the appointment of a pension payment of an academic degree or employment in particularly difficult conditions (in the Far North). In this case, the citizen can count on a pension supplement.
- Teacher's category (according to international classification).
- Received awards and special titles for activities in the field of education.
Preferential experience for teaching staff in 2017
It should be noted right away that all existing norms and rules are valid until 2030, since from this year all persons who worked in the field of education will be able to draw up a pension for themselves only on a general basis. Naturally, the very methodology for calculating the mandatory length of service and establishing monthly social benefits for pensioners will also undergo significant changes.For the current 2017, according to the procedure for calculating preferential pensions in connection with the presence of teaching experience, such a right is granted to persons who have worked for at least 25 years in positions related to education.

The general categories of work and non-work periods that may be included in the pedagogical work experience are as follows:
- directly the period of labor activity (subject to the fulfillment of the standard hours);
- periods of temporary disability of an employee associated with his health, pregnancy and childbirth, caring for a sick child or relative;
- periods of being on annual planned leave;
- the time during which the mother (father, grandmother, other close relative) is on parental leave;
- starting from the current year, the period during which the employee received specialized education or improved his qualifications is also included in the teaching experience. A prerequisite in this case is work in the field of education before and after training.
Controversial issues and nuances in determining the teaching experience
Consider the answers to some controversial questions arising in the definition and calculation of teaching experience:- When calculating the teaching experience, the work periods indicated in the work book are taken into account. In the event that there are discrepancies in any of the specified data, you can contact the HR department of the organization that made the entry. If the institution has been reorganized, disbanded, the solution of emerging conflicts is possible by going to court.
- In the event that the employee carried out labor activities in a non-governmental institution, this fact does not at all affect the calculation methodology. Calculations are made in the same way as for government organizations.
- If, when calculating pedagogical experience, periods that date back to the time of the existence of the Soviet Union are taken into account, the calculation methodology is adopted in accordance with the laws and regulations of that period, even if at the moment they have already been abolished.
