Now school managers can increase their monthly salaries again

As you know, by Resolution No. 662 of the Cabinet of Ministers dated October 21, 2025, a procedure was introduced for assigning bonuses from 10 to 20 percent to the directors of general education institutions and their deputies, depending on the performance indicators of their activities.

At the same time, the activities of school managers will be assessed on a 100-point scale, and depending on academic and non-academic results in the educational organization, the effectiveness of educational work, the effectiveness of financial activities, and the level of provision with qualified teachers, the director of the school will be able to receive a bonus of 20 percent, and his deputies - 10 percent.

By order of the Ministry of Preschool and School Education No. 478 dated December 30, 2025, the methodology and procedure for assessing the performance indicators (KPIs) of school principals and their deputies were determined.

Now, starting from January 1, 2026, at the expense of the director's fund of general secondary education organizations, monthly bonuses in the amount of 20 and 10 percent, respectively, to the basic tariff rates are established for the director and his deputies based on the results of performance indicators (KPIs).

Indicators of the effectiveness of the activities of the director of general secondary educational institutions and his deputies are assessed by the working group on the establishment of bonuses, material incentives and material assistance organized in general secondary educational institutions.

The monthly bonus established for the director or deputy directors is carried out within the limits of the available funds in the director's fund for incentivizing distinguished employees of general secondary education institutions.

For the establishment of a monthly bonus, the director or deputy directors must have worked in their main position in this educational institution for at least 9 months.

When the director or deputy directors transfer to another position or work in another educational institution, the monthly allowances assigned to them are not retained.

However, the provision of these bonuses to the director and deputy directors rotated to an equal position will not be suspended.

The effectiveness of the Director and his deputies is assessed as follows:
