A Budget outlining the work in the education sector
The 2025 Budget presented by the Government outlines the current work being carried out in the education sector. The MUT welcomes the mention of the Sectoral Agreement signed between the MUT and the Government as one of the most important measures in the education sector. The budget outlines also the work on the Education strategy 2024-2030 which is also being carried out in consultation with the Union whilst it announces the new Forum for Education which was one of the proposals of the MUT to the Education Ministry. The MUT notes also the emphasis on the wellbeing, the programme of building and maintaining schools and the importance being given to literacy.
The Union was expecting measures in this budget to address the growth in school populations through the present economic model. It expected also measures to establish more work-life balance of employees through the right to disconnect. These were amongst the pre-budget proposals presented by the MUT to the Government.
