Government approves Education Ministry plan

Teachers’ careers in the future could come under a three-stage assessment plan determining remuneration based on performance, the government agreed on Monday, backing a new proposal put forward by the Education Ministry. Under the plan, the first two years in the job would be an ‘adaptation period’ for teachers, after which they could further specialize in respective fields, thereby affecting wage levels. The third level would require attestation which could come into effect in 2021 while the earlier parts of the bill, if approved, would take effect in 2017. One of the main aims of the plan is to motivate teachers by rewarding strong commitment the prime minister has made clear.
