Hancescu said at the end of the meeting at the Ministry of Education Monday that the highest increase in pay will be applied to beginner teachers, from an approximate gross wage of RON1,100 to over RON3,000, while experienced teachers in the system will see an approximate 80% increase in pay.

On the other hand, Hancescu said unions and Ministry representatives agreed that first to fourth grade teachers will be hired as regular teachers.

In their turn, "Alma Mater" representatives said Ministry representatives agreed with the federation’s propositions, without mentioning exactly where teachers in the college system will be included.

The vice president of the Alma Mater Federation, Nicu Barzoaca, said preparation teachers will have double pay, according to the proposed salary grid.

The propositions for the salary grid will be discussed in the meeting organized Tuesday at the Ministry of Labor.

According to unionists, if the Government does not accept their propositions, they will once again open labor conflict.
