After months of negotiations, the Guyana Teachers Union (GTU) and the Ministry of Education (MOE) have inked a three-year agreement from 2024-2026 for salary increases and other benefits for teachers.
The agreement outlines for that 2024, teachers will receive a 10% increase, an 8% increase in 2025, and 9% increase in 2026.
There is also an adjustable clause which stipulates that if a higher percentage increase is announced for the general public service, teachers will also benefit from the difference.
