A 6.5m-euro share for teachers of 90-99 , IMF goes against

The implementation of this law, according to the Ministry of Finance, could begin after drafting the regulation draft for the criteria for application by the responsible ministry, the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, while the latter have not declared for Kosovo Press when this regulation will be issued in question.

Finance Ministry officials declare the cost of this law for Kosovo in 2019 has been estimated at 6 million and 559 thousand euros, the second year 7 million and 293,000 euros, and the third year 7 million and 937 thousand, while budgetary means are planned in the budget Law.

“This compensation is made at the hour of retirement in many months throughout”, an electronic answer to KP from the Ministry of Finance.

Even though officials of this ministry have not indicated how much money a education pensioner will receive within a month with the new law, law makers in the Kosovo Assembly say that much in a month will be 70 euros.

Parliamentary Commission for Education Chairman Ismajl Kurteshi tells Kosovo that the cost of the real law is unaffordable to the Kosovo budget, because the requirements have been for even higher compensation, but there have been remarks by the International Monetary Fund (FMN) and the World Bank (BB).

This cost is affordable because the requirements have been for even higher compensation, but are drawn by the Ministry of Finance as well as by the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, that the proposed cost is unaffordable to the Kosovo budget”, says Kurteshi.

He declares that procedures after the Parliament could usually last a month, while the Pre-war Education Law was approved on 28 February, meaning by the end of March this issue had to be adjusted.

I think from next month, teachers, really teaching pensioners of the 1990s have to start getting the tools they're entitled to. Each teacher who has worked over nine years will receive an additional 70 euros on the pension each has, starting with one that has worked a year gets 14 euros. So the minimum is 14 euros, maximum 70 euros”, he says.

However, SBASK leaders claim that this teaching law benefits 95 euros per month.

SBASK Chairman Nundman Jashari says that according to figures given to the Labour and Social Management Ministry, compensation will be initiated sometime with 9 thousand education pensioners, but that about 3 thousand of them are not alive, while about 23 thousand employed at the time will enjoy the law.

Yasar says that 700 educators will retire each year.

Your “Pensions you will enjoy will be added to your 95 euros, while those who worked less will have a slight drop in percentage, but the one who worked one year will also be beneficial. Everyone will benefit, but not the same. Those who have worked throughout the years will benefit more. Without wanting to criticize anyone, Minister Bytyqi can speed up the procedure by introducing administrative guidelines, not waiting six months. After this administrative guidance, educators will be able to apply, then in the following months these additional tools” will benefit, says Jashar.

While representatives of the International Monetary Fund (FMN) in Pristina during the vote on the first-read draft in the Assembly, had rejected the idea of establishing legislation to compensate the 1990-1999 educators, as it would be a heavy burden for the Kosovo Budget.
