Romanian MPs voted an amendment on Wednesday that boosts teachers’ salaries by 22% instead of the 18% set by the 2007 draft budget. The supplementary funds - some 420 million RON - will be sucked away from the funds reserved for investments. The only official to oppose the move was Finance minister Sebastian Vladescu.
In the presence of trade unions, parliamentarians proposed the creation of a commission to redistribute the funds for the Education and Research Ministry. The 22% salary boost would be based on money reserved for investments in infrastructure.
Education minister Mihail Hardau accepted the amendment, considering he was facing representatives of the education trade unions.
