Good day! Of course, I will help you understand this resolution.
1. **Essence of the Law:**
The resolution introduces changes to the regulations governing the activities of higher education institutions. The main goal of the changes is to more clearly distinguish between the positions of scientific-pedagogical staff and pedagogical staff in higher education institutions, as well as to bring regulatory acts in line with modern requirements of educational activities. This affects the duration of vacations, wages, and the establishment of allowances for various categories of education workers.
2. **Structure and main provisions:**
The resolution introduces changes to four different resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.
* **Changes to Resolution No. 346:** Clarifications have been added regarding the positions of heads of structural subdivisions of vocational pre-higher education institutions, and the duration of vacations for scientific-pedagogical staff has been differentiated.
* **Changes to Resolution No. 963:** A note has been introduced, which stipulates that the positions of scientific-pedagogical staff can be classified as pedagogical if the time spent on scientific work is less than 30% of working time.
* **Changes to Resolution No. 1298:** The name “Higher educational institutions of the III and IV levels of accreditation” has been unified to “Higher education institutions,” and the list of employees has been clarified, including pedagogical staff.
* **Changes to Resolution No. 373:** The list of educational institutions to which the allowance for pedagogical staff applies has been expanded, and it has been clarified that the allowance does not apply to certain positions of scientific-pedagogical staff if they are not considered pedagogical.
3. **Main provisions for use:**
The most important is the clarification regarding the distinction between the positions of scientific-pedagogical and pedagogical staff. If scientific work takes less than 30% of working time, the position can be classified as pedagogical. This decision is made by the higher education institution. It is also important to take into account changes in wages and vacation duration, which depend on the classification of the position to one category or another.
