September 11 - Day of the Specialist of Educational Agencies of the Armed Forces of Russia
In the charter of the cadet corps for the first time in the history of the Russian army the post of military educator is designated. We are talking about professors, educators and lieutenants (second lieutenants), educators, who are often called officers, educators. From the charter of the Imperial land gentry cadet corps, signed by Empress Catherine II.
Genuine signed by HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY own hand:
CATHERINE.
St. Petersburg 1766 of the year.
By the grace of God, we are Catherine the Second Empress and the Autocrat All-Russian, and so on, and so forth, and so forth.
Having attained the most deed to the benefit and welfare of Our State, various pre-existing institutions, We finally reached in an uninterrupted manner and institution of education in the State of OUR noble youth, about which only training without primary rules until now and in the Cadet Land Corps care was attached. What for the sake of, without damaging this most useful of our ancestors of our establishment, we need to back up it with a new and unshakeable foundation, that is, to establish this Corps so that military and civic science is taught in it by the very issue of a cadet, which has never been separated. as a young man, always accompanied by upbringing a decent and virtuous title, and, moreover, the fruits of our other institutions corresponded to the fruits of this in the new order of the establishment, and through this mutual help each of them to one another giving strength. According to Ours about all parts of state hardness flocking to one universal beneficent care, we have made the statute of Our Imperial Nosy Land Cadet Corps, and in it we prescribe the following non-mobile institution:
(...)
Professors in the position of educators - in the ninth.
Fourteen teachers in the same position.
(...)
For decent upbringing and education, divide them into five ages:
the first is from five and six to nine years old,
the second is from nine to twelve,
the third is from twelve to fifteen,
the fourth is from fifteen to eighteen,
the fifth is from eighteen to twenty-one.
Therefore, in each age, the pet should be three years old, and study according to the inclination and concept of science, both before the military and civil title belonging to.
About Guarantors and Subchiefs in the position of educator
Lieutenants and Sub-lieutenants in each company during exertions of the military act according to their ranks; moreover, in a company, by dividing it into two parts, with the Cadets, the same position, which is given to teachers in the second and third ages, is corrected; consequently, they cannot leave their pets for a short time, be content with they are at the same table, in a word, responsible for their behavior, upbringing and morals, to give them examples of honor and those thoughts that lead to the true virtues. In the case of the lawful absence of the Captain, the eldest by rank fulfills his position, and his place is taken by the next in his rank; therefore, for the sake of advantage and subordination, they rely upon them in rank in all, without exception.
The duties of the officers-educators in the cadet corps of the XVIII century included "promoting success for the good of the Fatherland." In other words, educational work was based on patriotic principles, as we would say now. And these principles, in one form or another, actually migrated to the modern system of educational work in military schools that are in the system of the armed forces. It is patriotic education that can be called the basis for the training of future officers, on the basis of which educational standards are formed in military higher educational institutions as well as pre-university educational institutions (Suvorov and Nakhimov schools, cadet corps).
Today, in every military district there are special educational structures, the officers of which are engaged in working with personnel. Educational functions are assigned, of course, to the teaching staff of military schools and military training centers. Psychological aid points are active in the district troops, whose specialists help recruits to adapt to the new army life. Psychological assistance in the framework of general educational work in the army is aimed at the realization that the defense of the Fatherland is an honorable duty, which, among other things, allows you to acquire additional skills, build character, the ability not only to be, but also to solve important tasks in a team setting. An important aspect of the work of military educators is the inculcation in young military personnel (future military personnel) of the understanding that the defense of the Motherland is the most important task facing a responsible and worthy citizen.
It is worth paying attention to the fact that clergy are engaged in educational work in the troops. Some of them themselves wore officer uniform a little while ago, participated in combat operations. The Ministry of Defense reports that the educational process conducted by the clergy in the Armed Forces, very qualitatively complements the classical educational process - one that is carried out in accordance with strictly statutory requirements.
The system of educational work in the army can include numerous functioning military history museums, soldiers' clubs and garrison houses of officers. Often, a young army visiting a museum of a military unit gives an opportunity to touch its traditions, which is an effective educational and educational moment.
Military educators say that educational work is also carried out in the format of meetings with veterans of the Great Patriotic War, local armed conflicts. And the effectiveness of such meetings is also hardly possible to overestimate.
“Military Review” congratulates all the specialists of educational bodies of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on their professional holiday!
