The General Union of Teachers in Libya has accused education authorities of delaying the submission of staff data related to salary disparities and bonuses. According to the union's general secretary, Ramadan Hamom, more than 28 education authorities have not submitted data on salary disparities, while only two have completed the submission of bonus data out of 137 authorities. This delay is hindering the completion of procedures for disbursing payments.
Hamom made these statements after a meeting with the Minister of Education and union members to discuss the latest developments on salary disparities and bonuses. The meeting aimed to review procedures for completing files and data required for disbursement. The Ministry of Education had submitted an analytical list of bonuses for the 2025-2026 academic year to education authorities, but most have not completed the submission of data.
Hamom urged teachers to verify the reasons for delays before holding the union or ministry responsible. He noted that some bonus and salary disparity lists contain errors, including changes to teachers' names and issues related to settling some teachers' dues linked to job grades. The union is working to rectify these issues to ensure accurate data and payment of dues to eligible individuals.
The union's general secretary emphasized the need for education authorities to review and correct errors in the lists. He also called on union branches across Libya to monitor the issue and ensure that procedures are completed and data is submitted. Hamom warned that those responsible for delays will be held accountable.
Hamom stressed the importance of completing the work within the remaining days of the month to overcome obstacles to settling dues. The union will provide further clarification on the status of salary disparities and bonuses in a future press conference. The issue has been ongoing, with the union working to resolve it.
The General Union of Teachers in Libya represents the interests of teachers and education staff in the country. The union's efforts aim to ensure that teachers receive their rightful dues and bonuses. The delay in submitting data has caused frustration among teachers, who rely on these payments.
The Libyan Ministry of Education has a critical role in resolving the issue by working with education authorities to complete the submission of data. The ministry's efforts, in collaboration with the union, are crucial to ensuring that teachers receive their dues in a timely manner. The situation remains a priority for both the union and the ministry.
