Education Ministry announces 2026 bonus dates and salary data
The Ministry of National Education has announced that the third-quarter performance bonus for 2026 will be paid to all education sector civil servants on September 1, 2026. This timing is intended to assist employees with expenses related to the upcoming school year.
The 2026-2027 academic calendar includes a staggered return: administrative staff and directors return on September 6, teachers begin pedagogical preparations on September 13, and students return on September 21.
Regarding compensation, the government released data stating that in 2024, National Education teachers earned an average of 3,090 euros net per month. However, the SNES-FSU union has challenged this figure, arguing that the average masks salary declines and sector-specific disparities. This comes amid the elimination of 4,000 teaching positions for the 2026 school year.
