Engel Fattakhov recalled that the competition had been held since 2006, over which period 1,292 best teachers had been awarded at the expense of Russian budget and 609 done so at the expense of Tatarstan budget.

This year’s project had 462 participant teachers, 26 of whom were recognised as the best in their occupation at a federal level. The cash prizes ranged 46.5 to 100 thousand roubles.
