Officials from the Islamic Emirate’s Ministry of Education announced after a meeting with a professional group called the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) that the organization will pay 94 percent of teachers’ salaries across the country by next week.
The Ministry of Education said in a statement that UNICEF pays salaries to 94 percent of teachers across the country through bank accounts.
The salary to be paid to the selected teachers is 200 200 per teacher as announced earlier. The ministry has said that teachers who do not have a bank account will be paid their salaries from the beginning of next week, following a draft procedure in coordination with the finance departments of the provincial education departments. These salaries are paid to teachers who have recently been listed by the Finance and Administration Department of the Ministry of Education of the Islamic Emirate as non-fiction teachers.
The ministry said it would work with UNICEF in the future to develop a mechanism for paying teachers’ salaries.
