Rwanda government has earmarked frw 9 billion to cater for teachers’ salaries at all levels. Teachers salaries have been very low compared to other jobs in the public service.
John Rwangombwa, the minister in charge of Finance and Economic Planning, declared during the special term for Deputies assembly that took place on 5th January 2012.
Rwangombwa revealed that the Frw 9 billion had been obtained from other institutions that failed to utilize it in the past 6 months.
He said that 1 billion and 4 million will be used to increase teachers’ salaries of A2 level; more than 4 billion for the newly recruited teachers of A0 level. The rest will be used in the regularisation of teachers’ salaries based on their experience.
During the assembly, law makers voted for a bill modifying and completing the law of the 2011-2102 budget.
The minister said, “the reason of this bill’s renewal is that there is an amount of money that was added to the budget 2011-2012; some of the money is from taxes and revenues, loans, funds and 3 billion from the shares which the government sold in BK and MTN.”
