The education sector in Ukraine has been facing numerous challenges, especially for teachers in the temporarily occupied territories (TOT) like Zaporizhzhia region, where salary delays persist due to new payment programs by occupiers. Meanwhile, from January 2025, Ukrainian teachers can expect an extra UAH 1,000 monthly as announced by Shmyhal. However, this supplement does not extend to kindergarten employees, highlighting a disparity within the educational staff. Furthermore, teacher salaries are not expected to see significant increases soon, according to government statements; however, a comprehensive review of the remuneration system is planned. Despite this, teachers who collaborate with occupiers face serious consequences under Ukrainian law. The situation in occupied territories remains tense as reports surface about Russian intervention in educational institutions, exacerbating the plight for local educators. Keep up with the critical developments affecting Ukraine's educational landscape.
