Lithuanian pre-primary school teachers’ salaries to grow

The Government also raised education vouchers, which in 2015 will be by LTL 36 (EUR 10.4) greater and will reach LTL 3,384 (EUR 980).

“This Government is annually increasing education funding despite the reducing number of schoolchildren. In 2015 funding will be increased by LTL 47 million (EUR 13.6 million). It is significant that education vouchers will grow for the second year in a row. Several years prior to 2014 education vouchers were not increased altogether,” said Minister of Education and Science Dainius Pavalkis.
