The Teacher (Slovak: Učiteľka) is a 2016 Slovak-Czech black comedy[4] film directed by Jan Hřebejk which premiered at the 2016 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival,[5] where Zuzana Mauréry received an award for best actress.

The head teacher is afraid to intervene as Drazdechová is chairperson of the school Communist Party branch.

The movie concludes with the same scene from the beginning — Drazdechová asks all her students about their parents' jobs.

The only difference is that on the classroom wall hangs a portrait of Václav Havel instead of Gustáv Husák.
