ORSHA, 8 November (BelTA) – Teachers' salaries will be increased following doctors' salaries, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he visited Orsha City Hospital No. 1 named after Semashko on 6 November, BelTA has learned.
The head of state noted that salaries of medical personnel rose on the back of COVID-19 bonuses. According to him, this same level of payment should be retained after the pandemic is over.
“Br2,000 [the average salary in healthcare] and not less. This level of salaries for doctors must be maintained. Doctors' salaries will be a benchmark for other public sector employees. Teachers will be next. There can be no country without doctors and teachers. This is our real intelligentsia,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
