Minister Sergei Ignatov: Education will receive BGN 142 mln more next year

“The budget of the education system will be BGN 142 mln higher next year, Education Minister Sergei Ignatov told BNT on Wednesday. “The starting monthly salary of junior teachers will be BGN 500 per month. I am saying this with a heavy heart, but it is an increase, albeit a small one. The starting salary in the system used to be BGN 430/month so far. Despite the increase, this salary will be lower than the national average. The monthly salary of senior teachers will become BGN 530,” said Ignatov. “During the years of crisis, there has been a gradual increase of salaries in the system, which cannot be felt as it is just 12%. But the crisis is, indeed, a severe one,” commented the Minister of Education.

“It has never been easy to breathe in the Ministry of Education. Teachers have never protested under my windows in the Ministry because I feel like one of them and I have been lecturing all my life. Considering the crisis and comparing the increase of BGN 142 mln with the budgets of other ministries, this is indeed a significant raise,” added Ignatov.
