Venezuela's Sistema Patria approves new payroll payments and launches June training bonus for teachers

On 4 June 2026, Venezuela's state payroll system Sistema Patria approved payroll disbursements for staff of the Universidad Centroccidental "Lisandro Alvarado" (UCLA), covering the first half of June for all teaching, administrative and support personnel. The announcement, signed by the university's Human Talent Directorate, confirmed that the payments would be made through the existing payroll accounts, though no exact date was set.

Earlier, the executive branch had delivered the "Corresponsabilidad y Formación" bonus for June 2026 to active teachers participating in the National Training Program. The bonus amounts to 27,500 bolívares (about $48.8 at the central bank rate of 563.28 bolívares per dollar). Recipients are notified via SMS and can withdraw the funds through the veMonedero app or the Sistema Patria portal. Analysts note that the amount does not cover a full basic food basket, illustrating the limited purchasing power of the subsidy.

Both measures are part of the government's effort to support the education sector amid ongoing economic challenges.
