As it has been reported before, the government decided at last, how much time teachers should have for vacation. School teachers have 56-day vacation as before. But kindergarten teachers lost a third part of their vacation.
– Our kindergarten is ready for a strike! – Teachers from different kindergartens from all over the country phoned to the “KP v Belarusi” editor’s office yesterday. – Nobody wants to work in kindergartens... I have higher education, 20 years of work experience, but my salary is only 450 000 Belarusian rubles per month. Girls, who graduated from pedagogical colleges, receive 300 000. And to top it all, vacation was reduced by 12 days. They are depriving a beggar of the feedbag...
Teachers are taking to streets in Poland and Lithuania for government to increase the salary. In Belarus the pay isn’t increased, but reduced. We have no money to rest somewhere, even in a Belarusian rest house. I wonder, if the officials, who took the decision, have no children or grandchildren. If people do not work in kindergartens, where the children will be?
