Zavuch

Zavuch, also spelled as zavuchka, is a term used in some Eastern European countries, particularly in Russia and Ukraine, to refer to a student who is responsible for assisting teachers in the classroom. The role of a zavuch is to help maintain order, assist with administrative tasks, and support the teacher in various ways. This position is often held by a student who has shown dedication, responsibility, and a good understanding of the subject matter. Zavuchs are typically chosen by their peers or by the teacher, and their responsibilities can include checking homework, distributing materials, and ensuring that the classroom environment is conducive to learning. The term "zavuch" is derived from the Russian word "завуч," which stands for "заместитель учителя," meaning "teacher's deputy." The role of a zavuch is an important one, as it helps to create a more organized and efficient learning environment, and it provides valuable experience for students who may aspire to become teachers in the future.
