According to plans by the Linker, SPD, Greens and CDU, elementary school teachers should receive more money from August 2021. The representatives of the four groups agreed on this on Tuesday in the budget committee, as the left group announced. In Thuringia, there is an acute need for teachers, especially at elementary schools and mainstream schools, said the education policy spokesman for the Left Group, Torsten Wolf. The salary of mainstream school teachers has already been raised to grade A13. Thuringian mainstream school teachers earn just as much as high school teachers. Now elementary school teachers are also to be given grade A13.

“We want to achieve that the vacancies in Thuringia can be filled with applicants from other federal states at short notice,” said Wolf. A possible agreement between the Left, SPD, Greens and the CDU had already been indicated in advance.

The Salary Act must be changed to increase the salaries of primary school teachers. The education committee will deal with this on Wednesday. The Thuringian state parliament has the last word, where the change has yet to be decided.
