From there, they note that over 4,000 teachers will retire in 2018, and the need of young teachers has not changed since last year and are within 1 percent of the total number of teachers.
The union notes the positive efforts of the government and the Ministry of Education and Science, especially Minister Krasimir Valchev, to increase the teachers' salaries, but they point out that "even at 2000 leva teacher's salary, this will not lead to attracting the best teachers and keep them in educational institutions unless the indirect causes of repulsion from the profession are overcome.
