By having own regimes with semiannual readjustments and mobility that was not suspended by the Emergency and Solidarity, as of March the salaries of the 160,000 retired national teachers increase by 23.29% . And also as of March, the retirements of national university teachers rise 30.64% .

Thus, after the general increase in retirement and pensions announced last Friday by President Alberto Fernandez, the increases in special systems are now known, thus defined by having contribution requirements and calculating own benefits. In the coming days, for example, the increase for retired Scientific Researchers will be known.

In the bill of Emergency and Solidarity , along with other regimes, the suspension of the mobility of these two special systems was promoted . However, due to the claim made by the unions of both sectors, this suspension was excluded when the law was passed. But it was set that a Commission composed of representatives of the Ministry of Economy, Labor and members of the Congressional Commissions within 180 days "review the economic, financial and actuarial sustainability and propose to the National Congress the modifications deemed relevant relating to mobility or updating of special regimes… .. "

Then, the Government promoted the treatment in the extraordinary sessions and sent a bill with modifications in the regimes for judges, magistrates and diplomatic service that would be treated next week in Congress.

These differentiated increases for teachers are due to the fact that the provisional laws of these sectors establish that active workers contribute two additional points (13% of the salary) and retire with 82% mobile corresponding to the position they had in activity.

In September, the retirements of national teachers increased by 18.85%. In this way, they will accumulate a rise of 46.5% in 12 months to March . And retired university teachers received 8.6%, which will accumulate a 12-month increase of 41.9% .

In both cases the annual increase is lower than inflation, reflecting the deterioration of the salaries of active teachers . It is that unlike the general regime that has quarterly increases, teacher retirees receive two increases per year, in March and September, according to the evolution of salaries of national teachers in the calendar semesters.

Once the initial credit is fixed, unlike the rest of the retirees who have quarterly updates, teachers have two adjustments per year. And to determine that mobility of those already retired, the Ministry of Social Security calculates the semi-annual variation of the salaries of national active teachers with contributions, RIPDOC and RIPDUN indexes. 23.29% and 30.64% from March to August correspond to the variation of salaries in the second half of 2019.

In favor of these passive teachers, as explained, they are governed by 82% mobile. Determine that the average credit double that of the general regime. Women and 60 years old retire at 57 , if at least 10 years were in charge of students
