Premier Ngirente has announced the development as he presented achievements of the government in the education sector under the National Strategy for Transformation (NST1) to both chambers of parliament.<\/p>\n

The new plan will see the salary of primary school teachers holding A2 degrees increased by 88% while others with A0 and A1 degrees will receive 40% salary increment. <\/p>\n

He expressed optimism that injected funds will further improve teachers\u2019 welfare. <\/p>\n

Normally, a newly recruited teacher paid on the basis on A2 degree received Rwf57,000 per month. A new teacher paid on the basis of A1 diploma used to receive Rwf137,000 while a recruited teacher paid on the basis of A0 degree would receive Rwf160,000 net salary. <\/p>\n
