“We had a fruitful discussion. I said that it cannot be a question of a salary increase or the granting of increments.
The Government’s additional offer to redefine the dignity of teachers will be to grant an amount in June and in October, a professional career card. The proposed amount is 1,000 lei in June and 1,500 lei in October.
For non-teaching staff it will be 500 lei in June and 500 lei in October.
It is the final offer made by the Government”, said Marian Neacșu in front of the press, after the negotiations with the representatives of the teaching staff.
