Teachers’ strikes officially ending, could be renewed next year

According to union chairman Andrius Navickas, the teachers’ representatives have come to agreement with the ministry on an algorithm, which will help calculate teachers’ wages more clearly and transparently.

The improvements are to be put in place next September. That said, the financing has not yet been agreed on, thus A. Navickas suggests that the strikes could be renewed next year.

According to minister Rokas Masiulis, finances for teachers’ wages could be found by performing audits in the Ministry of Education and Science, as well as its subordinate institutions.
