The Teachers' union APESS issued a statement on Monday criticising the recently announced wage agreement between government and social partners.

Teachers' union APESS issued the statement to express its dismay over the new wage agreement signed between the government and the General Confederation of the Civil Service (CGFP). The union criticises that the "superior careers" have been "left out", which is said to be particularly problematic due to existing staff shortages.

The statement further draws attention to the fact that the union already made several proposals to help place more value on the teaching profession, but that most have remained unanswered for years.
