Zavuchka

Zavuchka, also spelled zavuchka, is a term used in Russian and Ukrainian cultures to refer to a young female teacher or educator, typically in primary or secondary education. The term is derived from the word "zavuch," which means "head teacher" or "deputy head teacher." A zavuchka is often responsible for assisting the head teacher in managing the classroom, organizing lessons, and maintaining discipline among students. She may also be involved in extracurricular activities and student support services. The role of a zavuchka can vary depending on the school and the specific responsibilities assigned by the head teacher. In some cases, a zavuchka may also be referred to as a "classroom teacher" or "teacher's assistant." The term zavuchka is not gender-specific, and the role can be filled by either a male or female educator.
