The contract teachers movement rejected the position of Finance Minister Yassin Jaber regarding the increase in hourly contract wages, and emphasized that the decision of the Council of Ministers requires that it be adjusted according to the public sector multipliers. She emphasized that the previous increase based on three times does not cancel the current increase based on six times, demanding an increase of 120,000 Lebanese pounds for secondary education and 80,000 for basic education, starting retroactively from March 1, 2026.
