Education Minister Alejandrina German says that in the light of the country's economic difficulties, the idea of raising teacher wages to RD$20,000 per shift would be utopian. She commented that the present administration has already authorized wage increases of 76%, according to a report in the Listin Diario.
However, the Minister also said that teachers should be among the country's best-paid professionals considering the work they do and the sacrifices they make. German made her comments in response to the Dominican Teachers' Association (ADP) demand that the government should allocate 4% of the GDP towards education.
