Teaches salaries halved

Jun 17, 2009
TBT staff

The current gross monthly salary for teachers is 345 lats per month.

 Teachers had previously stated that should the 50 percent reduction amendments be passed, instead of the originally agreed 20 percent, teachers would cease grading exams currently taking place.

In order not to exceed the allocated budget, more dramatic cuts will have to be introduced in schools in the last four months of 2009. In other state-funded institutions salaries will be curbed already sooner, with the budget amendments becoming effective July 1.

 Earmarked subsidies for teachers' salaries will reduce by a total of 95 million lats.
