The Ministry of Defense announced the salary increase this Thursday. “Up to 43%” For teachers working in educational institutions and high schools that rely on portfolios. And he argues that the measure “aims to respond to historic claims and lay the foundations for a more equitable and sustainable renewal plan over the long term.”
The increase the defense showed was Applied “in proportion to working hours” and benefit 48% of teachers in the National Defense Education System. The school also includes teachers from the Military High School (of which there are six in the country), the Damaso Centeno School (Caballito District), and the INAC-CIATA Secondary School in Moron, which is dependent on the Air Force.
However, teachers and the ATE union were quick to legitimize the announcement. From “misleading,” “pathetic,” and “ridiculed after months of negotiation.” Top military officials have remained radio silent about this extreme situation affecting training institutions.
This increase (defined in the official announcement as “up to 43%”) will actually be retroactive to September, with a bonus of P150,000 to be paid starting December 1.
However, this amount will affect the bonus (75,000 pesos) but will not be remunerated. It will not be used as a future retirement allowance.
Another aspect, they explained, is that they are paid for 24 hours of work. clarion These are teachers from the Damaso Centeno School, which is facing an educational crisis due to the exodus of teachers, and teachers from the Provincial Workers’ Association (ATE) union.
Mr. Dario Secotti, ATE, is the General Secretary of the Army Internal Teachers Committee and a teacher in the military schools.
He explained that under these teaching salaries (paid by the national government through the National Defense), the starting salary for graduate student teachers is currently P371,000, which will increase to just over P520,000 with the increase. However, for second place, the amount will be rounded up to 900,000 pesos and there will be no increase. According to the investigation, the Ademis Union reports on its website that the salary at CABA is P820,000 for a four-hour position/shift. He added that teachers in Damaso Centeno, who depend on the army, work five and a half hours longer per shift than their Buenos Aires counterparts. This means that teachers currently paid by the central government earn virtually half as much as teachers in Buenos Aires.
The bonus is pro rata, so it will be P6,250 per position hour or teaching hour (always up to 24 hours).
A statement from the portfolio headed by Louis Petri denounced the inheritance received from K.: “During the 16 years of the Kirchnerist government, a comprehensive response to the leadership structure of the Defense Education System was never proposed…The diagnosis is clear: the legacy received was disastrous: the cumulative inflation rate exceeded 500%, and the index value 1 (the basis of payroll calculation) had not been updated for years.”
Dario Secotti said that although the agreement was signed last August, it was only approved by Javier Millay last Tuesday, which is why he has now been told, suggesting that it would apply retroactively to September.
“The government’s statement of 43% is a lie, a joke and a mockery of what we have been fighting for for many years.”
as clarion As reported in memos throughout the year, the situation in military training institutions has become clear through the actions taken by the educational community (families, teachers, students) of the traditional Damaso Centeno de Caballito schools.
Due to low wages, half of the 130 teachers teaching the course have recently defected to the education system of Buenos Aires City or Buenos Aires Province.
