Bytyqi-Jashari: Budget cannot afford to raise teachers' salaries

On the fifth day of the strike, the first in education, has said that the loss of the teaching time will be inconsistent.

This has been our main concern. At no time were we for the start of the strike. We've demanded that the salary order in the bill be higher. I consider that access to the bill is not a disregard, which should be understood that the sponsor of this law was the Ministry of Public Administration, while we were only as spokespersons and we were decision-makers. Unfortunately, this law, which was intended for wage leveling, turned into a race for which dictatorship would have higher wages”, Bytyqi said.

I think we should be reasonable and find solutions for the learning process to begin. The law is already in the hands of MPs. It is a very high cost that if this increase occurs by 30% and no other movement is made will be difficult to bear with the Kosovo budget. Kosovo's budget cannot afford a high cost”.

Bytyqi has said he does not consider that teachers have sidelined over other categories.
After our reaction, I insisted that we have a special article in education where any career promotions for teachers have additional growth. At Article 17 it's not determined what this extra is going to be, but here we should be with the SBASK as to what these additions will be.”
