Education / Pedagogy
Russian term or phrase: завуч
речь о завуче некоего московского колледжа, перевод под английсике/австралийские реалии. нашла в wikiwords "vice-principal", но замдиректора, кажется, не вполне отображает, чем занимается завуч (составление расписания, раздачу методичек, учителям по башке давать и пр.).

предлагаемые мультитраном и лингвой head of studies и head of school тоже не подходят, т.к. head of school -- опять же, директор, а head of studies встречается на гугле пугающе редко.

any ideas?

спасибо!

Explanation:
Завуч обычной школы- это (в традиционном понимании) - заместитель директора по учебно-воспитательной работе. Поэтому наиболее близким эквивалентом является английское
Secondary-School Vice-Principal.
Это общее определение. но бывает у завучей и специализация.

deputy or assistant director


Explanation:
It has to be director and not principal, because the latter suggests the institution is a high school.

Someone who is head of curriculum is more involved in determining which courses will be taught, which semesters they will be offered, who will teach them, collecting course descriptions, and so forth - I'm not sure it's comparable to zavuch as described in the initial Kudoz.
