“We have a problem with the human resource. The best graduates are not coming to the pre-university and we hardly keep the very good ones in the pre-university area, especially since they have many options in the socio-economic area, especially those in the science area”, Replied the Minister of Education in the Hotspot Podcast of Hotnews.
Daniel David says “The role of the teacher in society must be rethought, including by salaries ”.
“You cannot have a start salary that does not reflect a prestigious role in society, especially since the young people who enter the system just then need a decent salary, to make a family, they are in the area where they build their family, the house and so on,” said the minister.
The minister also considers that the salary of a beginner teacher must start from the average salary on the economy, as promised to the educational unions.
“From there we discuss according to the didactic degrees, according to seniority, by correlating as a number of years with what happens in health“Adds the minister.
Daniel David said that the society was in solidarity when it was necessary to support in the medical field, and now the same should happen with the field of education.
“You see, when the health had problems and said that the doctors are leaving, we have no medical nurses and that we need to increase salaries, that otherwise we will have empty hospitals, we all supported this, and education did not protest, because we knew it was a problem..
Now I tell everyone: we have a problem in education, we start to have no teachers anymore. I don’t talk about good or less good teachers. We start to no longer have teachers in the science area. We need the support of the others to succeed in correcting this, including by the Law of pay ”he added.
