Is it possible to postpone 30 hours of lessons to 3 days and rest the remaining 3 days?

Question

I can teach for hours a day. For example, can I put 30 hours of lessons off for 3 days and take 3 days off? Wouldn't that be illegal? One of our colleagues is given such an opportunity by our "zavuch." Because our school is two-shift.

The teacher's working hours are determined based on their workload. According to Article 184 of the Labor Code, a teacher working at one rate (20 hours in senior classes, 18 hours in primary classes) must work 36 hours a week, 6 hours a day.

It should be noted that, along with conducting classes, the teacher must also perform an additional pedagogical workload.

Because the instruction "On the procedure for forming a standard annual work plan for pedagogical specialties of general education institutions" defines specific rules.

According to this, the annual workload of a teacher (at one rate) is 36 hours per week, 154.8 hours per month, and 1,548 hours per year, as well as the methodological support of the educational process and the organizational and pedagogical process.

For example, a high school teacher working one-stage conducts 868 hours of classes per year and completes 680 hours of tasks set in their pedagogical workload. (20*0.8=16+20=36*4.3 (week) =154.8*43 (week) =1548 hours)

Naturally, the pedagogical load of a teacher who teaches for 30 hours is even greater. According to calculations, if a teacher working at the same rate is given lessons of 3 hours a day, he will have to work for another 3 hours together with his pedagogical workload.

That is, even an employee working at the same rate has the opportunity to leave only one day free in a week. For an employee working at a rate of 1.5, it is completely impossible to release 3 days.

A teacher who has taught 30 hours already has to work 9 hours a day when he works 6 days a week, including his pedagogical workload. (30*0,8=24+30=54; 54:6=9)

If 30 lessons are given for 3 days, the teacher will have to work 18 hours. (54:3=18) This does not correspond to the law.

If 30 hours of lessons are postponed to 3 days in an educational institution, then a violation of the law has occurred. If this situation is detected by the relevant state bodies, responsibility will be imposed on the school administration.
