Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Primary teachers are set to receive an 88 percent salary increment, while secondary school teachers will receive a 40 percent increment, effective August 2022.<\/p>\n

The development is part of the incentives aimed at improving teachers\u2019 livelihoods.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Edouard Ngirente announced the development on Monday, August 1 while addressing both chambers of parliament on the state of the education sector.<\/p>\n

Under the revised salaries, Ngirente said that primary teachers will get up to 88 percent pay rise, while their secondary school counterparts will receive a 40 percent rise.<\/p>\n

The move comes at a time when a freshly recruited A2 certificate teacher (mostly in primary) gets a net starting salary of Rwf50, 849 which is set to increase to Rwf95,596.<\/p>\n

While a teacher\u2019s salary recruited and paid on the basis of A1 diploma, will increase by 40 percent of net starting salary of 54,916, increasing the salary to Rwf76882.<\/p>\n

Also to increase by 40 percent is the salary for a teacher recruited and paid on the basis of A0 degree of net starting salary of Rwf70,195 which is set to increase to Rwf98273.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have also not forgotten the salaries for Head teachers, Deputy Head Teachers, and support staff working in public and government-aided schools, which has also been revised upwards,\u201d Ngirente said.<\/p>\n

According to the Premier, despite the government increasing teachers\u2019 salaries by 10 percent since March 2019, over 1000 teachers leave their profession monthly in search of better welfare.<\/p>\n

This, he pointed out, costs the government at least Rwf300 million to be able to fill the gap every three months, amounting to Rwf1.2 billion per year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe damage is heavy, if you lose over 12,000 teachers per year, with delay in recruitment processes, there is going to be a gap in teaching these lessons to the students.\u201d<\/p>\n

The silver lining, Ngirente added, is that the government has already set up a digital mode of teacher recruitment to cut down the delays.<\/p>\n

The pay rise is part of a package that will incorporate incentives to improve the welfare of teachers, promoting the quality of education in public and government-aided schools for general education and TVET.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere has also been an allocation of Rwf5 billion to Umwarimu Sacco in order to strengthen liquidity conditions and access to finance by teachers,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The Premier also shared on encouraging more people to join the teaching profession as a way to uplift the quality of education.<\/p>\n
