It is worth paying attention to the fact that so far Volodymyr Zelenskyi has not disclosed the details of the promised assistance.
However, the head of state emphasized that he had already ordered the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine to make a fixed supplement to all teaching staff of schools.
What is known about monthly extra payments for teachers
As Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced on November 8, he and the CMU — acting on the instructions of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi — decided to strengthen support for Ukrainian teachers.
From January 1, 2025, we will introduce a monthly "teacher supplement" to teachers' salaries in the amount of 1,000 hryvnias "in hand". From September 1, 2025, we will increase this payment to UAH 2,000 "in the hands" of each teacher, he said.
According to Denys Shmygal, this decision is part of the state's support for Ukrainian teachers who, despite the war and other difficulties, teach and educate young people.
In addition, the head of government expressed gratitude to education workers for their selfless work.
Thanks to you, even in spite of the war, hundreds of thousands of children can continue their studies and get a quality education, — concluded Denys Shmyhal.
