“I would like to officially declare that today the leadership of the Republic and the Ministry of Education of the LPR are doing everything to maintain and increase the number of teachers in the Republic, because today there is a certain shortage of teachers.

Speaking about the precedent itself, the Acting Minister of Education and Science stated:
“This information has no basis. It is aimed at discrediting government bodies. No cuts were planned either this year or next.”
