Finance Ministry: Teachers’ Pay to Rise to EGP 15,000 Within Two Years

Egypt’s Finance Ministry has announced plans to raise teachers’ pay to EGP 15,000 within the next two years, as the government begins implementing a presidential directive to improve earnings in pre-university education.

The government has begun work on implementing the directive, although the information provided does not specify the stages through which salaries will rise.

Details have also not been provided on which categories of teachers will receive the stated amount or how the increases will be structured. The announcement sets a two-year horizon for reaching the pay target.
