UPDATED: No salary increases for teachers proposed, only a €500 allowance increase along with another €1000 one-time allowance

Teachers and members of the Malta Union of Teachers are currently at the De La Salle gymnasium listening to their union officials about the proposals they want them to sign which have been proposed by the Ministry of Education.

Teachers will benefit from no salary increases. LSE’s and heads of schools have go a salary increase.

Teachers will have a faster progression into their scale, an increase of €500 per year in allowances as of next year until 2027, and another one-time €1,000 allowance to be paid this year. Faster progression is not guaranteed for everyone, but will be part of a competitive process and teachers would have to apply for senior positions.

Attendees are incredibly flustered by these proposals.

MUT have been trying to force their members to swiftly accept these conditions. More updates soon.

    There isn’t any salary increase for LSEs either since who ever has a diploma and is currently on scale 12/10 will still only be able to reach scale 10. A salary increase would mean that whoever is on scale 12/10 would be able to reach scale 9. There is no salary increase for LSES and KGES !!!

    Advice to teachers: tell them to KFO – K stands for ‘kindly’.

    Is it possible to have more details? Too much misinformation or part of it running around

    Any information on Supply Teachers Please? the only news I read, if true is that “The salary scales for Supply Educators meanwhile will also increase by one scale compared to where they stand today.” here quoting another news portal. Just one scale increase, that is all? Is this all that concerns Supply Teachers in this sectoral agreement?

    Mark, this article needs a sequel or revision.
    “The new agreement will see the annual allowances that a new teacher receives increase to ?6,500 for this year. (from ?3,000) This will increase to ?7,000 in 2025, ?7,500 in 2026, and finally ?9,500 in 2027. ”

    […] Given that the Malta Union of Teachers have refused to publish or even circulate the proposed agreement to its members there is some confusion on what is being proposed to them. Teachers are expected to vote on an agreement without even reading the original contract and they are basing their knowledge of it on a set of slides that the MUT has showed yesterday during the meeting.
