Russian term

завуч

Russian to English Other Education / Pedagogy
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!

Kolledzh is an alternative to university, right? For people who have completed what in English would be called secondary education?

А Вы можете уточнить, какого рода завуч. Дело в том, что завучи бывают разными, поэтому и перевод будет разным.:) Бывают завучи по учебной работе, бывают завучи по воспитательной работе

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

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.
