Minister of Education and Science P.Naranbayar announced that the government has decided to raise salaries in the education sector by 20%.
"We have decided to increase teachers’ salaries by 20%, but to do so, we must make cuts to certain budgeted and planned expenditures. To those calling for a strike, I want to emphasize that this decision reflects the full capacity of our current economy. We cannot immediately raise salaries to MNT 3.5 million. Doing so would require an additional MNT 3.3 trillion. At the very least, we should proceed according to a three-year plan", said the Minister.
