Can negotiations with teachers’ union finally start?
Zoltán Maruzsa, the state secretary for public education, held talks with representatives of teachers’ trade unions and told them about public and professional consultations to be launched this week about further wage hikes and proposals on public education, the interior ministry said on Wednesday.
“The government’s aim is to further increase the wages of teachers despite the difficult economic situation caused by the war in Ukraine and related sanctions,” the ministry quoted Maruzsa as saying.
He noted that the wages of teachers had already been increased by 10 percent as of January.
Noting the result of an online questionnaire returned by tens of thousands of teachers last year, Maruzsa said that most of them supported giving priority in wage increases to teachers who work in poor regions or with highly disadvantaged children.
The draft proposals will be posted on the government’s website for feedback by professional organisations and the public.
