GOOD NEWS for teachers/ The union gives the announcement…

Following request no. 28 dated 19.09.2024 addressed to the Ministry of Education by FSASH and SPASH regarding the salary issue for teachers who graduated before the Bologna system came into effect, a meeting was held today, 23.09.2024, at the Ministry of Education and Sports at the request of the Minister. The meeting included Deputy Minister of Education Ms. Nina Guga, General Secretary Mr. Erzen Tola, and Director of Public Administration of the Republic of Albania Ms. Enkela Dudushi.

From the unions’ side, present were the President of SPASH Mr. Nevrus Kaptelli, Lawyer Ms. Matilda Zani, and FSASH Representative Mr. Xhafer Dobrushi. Representatives from the Ministry argued that the reduction made in the salary group based on the diploma has been reflected by a twofold increase in the position salary for this category, which every teacher can see by comparing their salary increase with that of other teachers who hold a master’s degree.

During the several-hour meeting, after insistence from the union representatives that all teachers who graduated before the Bologna system should be treated with an additional 14,000 Lekë in their salary group, it was agreed that after reviewing diplomas on a case-by-case basis, the corresponding payment of 14,000 Lekë would be made.

SPASH calls on all its leaders in regional education offices to look out for their members, to identify, and to initiate solutions for all those teachers who have not been paid in accordance with Decision No. 425 dated 26.06.2024.
