Koretsky: Young teachers to earn up to UAH 17,700, experienced teachers up to UAH 28,500 from September

Ukrainian Prime Minister Serhiy Koretsky announced on Tuesday that teachers' salaries will be increased to market and European levels, beginning September 1. The first priority is to support teachers, as quality education starts with the teacher. Since January, teachers' salaries have risen by 30%, and another 20% increase is expected in September.

According to Koretsky, young teachers will earn between UAH 12,800 and UAH 17,700 after the raise, while experienced teachers will have salaries ranging from UAH 16,900 to UAH 28,500 per month. The precise amount will depend on factors such as years of service, qualifications, and workload.

Koretsky emphasized that the teaching profession should be well-paid, prestigious, and competitive. The salary increase applies to teachers of various subjects, preschool teachers, teaching assistants, educational coordinators, practical psychologists, extracurricular educators, and other educational staff at all levels of education.
