Increased State Investment in Teacher Salaries? Nowacka: It Will Happen

- I would also like to remind you that local governments also have the tools to supplement teachers' salaries. [...] We also have a significant dispute with local governments, for instance, regarding the implementation of the Teacher's Charter, which has just come into effect. Some local government officials, the sensible ones who respect teachers, say "it's a great idea for, for example, jubilee bonuses to increase," and indeed they are increasing, while others say "we can't afford it." - said Barbara Nowacka on TVN24. - Education cannot be treated as an expense. Education is an investment - she continued. - Yes, there will be [increased state investment in teacher salaries], meaning, this year, these are also joint government decisions, in order to be able to maintain the budget, knowing what our expenditures are, for example, on defense matters - she further stated.
