The meeting concluded with the signing of a document that the government considered a consensus on the main points raised by the teachers, but Sinprof’s secretary general, Admar Jinguma, stated that the final decision will depend on the provincial assemblies, Correio da Kianda reported.

The meetings will evaluate the commitments made by the government, such as updating teacher categories, regularizing professional career paths, and paying the thirteenth monthly salary in a single installment, in order to decide on the strike.

The government actions will unfold in stages, beginning with the opening of an internal public competition in February, which will allow for the regularization of the job classification of more than 41,000 employees of the Ministry of Education, using available salary funds.

Meanwhile, the integration into the new job classifications and career paths will take place in two phases: the first throughout 2026 and the second in 2027.

The issue of decentralizing the management of the school budget was also addressed; this budget must be administered directly by educational institutions and is expected to be implemented this year.

This measure aims to improve teachers’ working conditions, as not all schools have the same needs.
