Amendment No. 830 on changing the salary model for teachers received 239 votes in favor, and Amendment No. 3032 on the inclusion of UAH 53.8 billion in the education subsidy received 315 votes.
Despite the support of the education and budget committees and the majority of People’s Deputies, the Cabinet of Ministers did not include these proposals in the final draft of the budget. Instead, they promised further consideration.

Education cannot wait. If we miss this moment now — it is not known when such an opportunity may appear again. It is important to understand that every year of delay is a lost teacher and lost trust. Especially since our teachers are teaching children in a country at war.” – emphasized Marmot.
