Citizens of Nizhny Novgorod reveal their preferred choice for the initial educator of their children

In a survey conducted by SuperJob on 11 August, parents in Nizhny Novgorod showed a preference for their children's first-grade teachers to be women aged between 30 and 50 years old.

The survey asked participants to choose their preferred "first teacher" for their child. The most popular choice was a woman aged 30-40, selected by 37% of fathers and 35% of mothers. This age group was chosen by 6% of parents as less than 30 years, and 6% opted for teachers over 50 years old.

Interestingly, fathers slightly more often chose teachers over 50 years old, while mothers less often said "age doesn't matter." Specifically, 34% of fathers and 19% of mothers chose the option "age doesn't matter." On the other hand, 35% of mothers chose teachers aged 30-40, compared to 37% of fathers. Fathers were more neutral about age, with 34% indicating no preference.

The survey did not specify the criteria used to define a "first teacher," nor did it provide information about the qualifications or experience of the teachers. Additionally, no specific information about the number of participants in the survey was provided.

The survey focused on parents of first-graders in Nizhny Novgorod and found that 27% of parents consider the optimal age of a teacher to be 30-40 years. However, a significant portion of parents, 27%, also stated that age does not matter when it comes to choosing a teacher for their child.

Lastly, it's worth noting that a man was chosen as the preferred teacher by only 4% of those surveyed. The survey did not mention any other age groups or genders for the "first teacher" preference beyond the aforementioned categories.

The survey, conducted by SuperJob, focused on education-and-self-development (first teacher preference) and general-news (survey results in Nizhny Novgorod), revealing that the majority of parents preferred teachers aged 30-40, with 27% considering this the optimal age. However, a significant portion, 27%, felt that age doesn't matter in choosing a teacher for their child. The survey also indicated that men were seldom chosen as the preferred teacher, with only 4% of those surveyed making this selection.
