By the end of 2021, teachers' salaries will increase by almost 30% compared to August 2020. This was stated by acting Minister of Education Sergey Shkarlet on Monday, September 28.
"Teachers' incomes have already increased by 1% since September 5,8. Due to the salary increase, from January 1, incomes will increase by another 20%, from July 1 - by another 8%. That is, during 2021, teachers' salaries will increase by almost 2020% compared to August 30," said Skarlet.
The head of the department also expressed concern about the low salary level of teachers.
"The salary of teachers, and not only teachers, but also teachers of preschool, school, vocational-technical, professional before higher education, higher education, masters of industrial training, scientific workers in terms of income formation of teachers has not changed systematically for 29 years. Although there were certain changes in the issues of some allowances and surcharges. Today we're trying to change that," Scarlett added.
Let us remind you that the National Bank expects the average salary to increase by 15%. An increase in the "minimum" will increase the average salary, but it will not affect the exchange rate and prices, the Central Bank promises.
It was also reported that the Ministry of Health announced new salaries for doctors. The Ministry of Health plans to pay doctors 22 to 25 hryvnias a year, and nurses - 17 to 18 hryvnias.
