Education Minister Jean-Michel Blanquer announced Sunday that teachers, whose salary increases are currently under discussion, will earn "100 euros net" more each month from next year for those who are in the beginning careers.
"Concretely, from 2021, a beginning professor will earn 100 euros more net per month," he said on BFMTV. "It's like making an annual premium of 1,200 euros net." "This is extremely important," insisted the minister.

The discussions with the unions, which began in January, should lead before the summer to a law for programming salary increases.
Within the framework of the pension reform, the government has undertaken that salary increases will guarantee the same level of retirement for teachers, who could potentially lose a lot.
"The world of teachers must hear this message"
"Teachers' pensions will not drop" and "their remuneration will increase", reaffirmed Jean-Michel Blanquer, recalling that cumulative increases of 500 million euros per year must come to add to the "natural" budgetary increases in National Education from 2021.
"The world of teachers must hear this message," added the minister, who was confronted with the mobilization of teachers.

"We will make a particularly important catch-up for early career and mid-career," said the minister. According to him, teachers born before 1975, not affected by the pension reform, "will also have an increase in their remuneration".
"The objective is that we will be during the decade 2020 one of the countries which pays its teachers the best," had already promised the minister at the start of the week, adding that this increase "will not be nonsense." The unions fear that these revaluations will be conditional on “compensation” such as an increase in working time.
