The teachers are demanding a 10% increase in the official salary ratio. In turn, the Ministry of Education offers a compromise growth next year of only 7.56% (about 152-92 euros in hand), which the Union considers insufficient. The head of LŠDPS, Andrius Navickas, emphasized that teachers do not want to strike for the sake of the process, but want to be heard, so if a realistic agreement is signed, the protest will be canceled immediately.
