"Basta!": Belarusian Teachers Will Have Chance This Year

The distance between Shchuchyn and Lazdijai is 70 km, and the difference in salaries is ten times.

The salary of a rural teacher in the schools of Lazdijai district of neighbouring Lithuania exceeds 2000 euros. However, to get it, you have to work on a one and a half time basis - the fact is that even with such salaries there are more vacancies than specialists. The teachers of the main schools receive salaries more than 1000 euros, the Basta TV channel writes.

How much does a rural school teacher receive, for example, in Shchuchyn district of Belarus? 150 dollars? 200?

The distance between Shchuchyn and Lazdijai is 70 km. The difference in salary is ten times, while the prices are approximately the same and the quality of products in Lithuania is incomparably better.

Why?

Maybe because teachers of schools in Lithuania have never been engaged in election fraud, have never driven out observers from polling stations, have never lied to pupils about the past and present of their country? Maybe we should think about how to make our teachers' salaries not to differ so much from other countries?

There will be a chance this year.
