Michał Dworczyk, a prominent figure in Polish politics, announced a new government proposal aimed at improving the conditions for educators and, by extension, the well-being of young people.

Speaking on the matter, Dworczyk stated, "The welfare of our youth is our highest priority. Therefore, the government is proposing a salary increase of 250 PLN for senior teachers, effective from September 1st."

However, this proposed raise is contingent on a specific condition. "This increase," Dworczyk clarified, "is based on the assumption of an additional 90 minutes of weekly contact time with students."

The announcement, shared via a tweet from Dworczyk's official account (https://twitter.com/michaldworczyk/status/1118815065568890880), suggests a government effort to balance increased financial incentives for teachers with a potential adjustment to their workload. The implications of this proposal for the education sector, teacher unions, and the broader discussion on educational reform in Poland are expected to be significant.
