AMAN Proposes a Solution to the Financial Crisis of the Palestinian Education and Teachers’ Salaries
Through
Allocating a Set Amount of Money from the Profits of the Palestine Investment Fund
Ramallah- In a letter sent to President Mahmoud Abbas, AMAN Coalition presented a proposal that addresses the education crisis and achieves justice and equity for teachers without affecting any budget allocated to any center of responsibility listed within the public treasury. To solve the current crisis, the proposal suggests an allocation of an appropriate amount of money from profits earned by the Palestine Investment Fund (Palestinian People's Fund) in the form of a transfer to the public treasury, as a three-year advance to be recovered from the Fund’s profits. The letter also stressed the importance of working on the democratization of the Palestinian Teachers' Union.
The same message was also sent to Dr. Mohammad Mustafa, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Palestine Investment Fund, urging him to consider the proposal and to take the initiative to solve the financial aspect of this crises by using the Palestinian people’s money entrusted by the Fund.
AMAN believes that the Palestine Investment Fund, being one of the most important Palestinian resources that aim to protect the Palestinian economy and the national interest as well as being one of the best resources to solve financial crises, can contribute to solving the education crisis by ending the financial aspect of it, which can be achieved without affecting any part of the public budget, and without compromising the rights of public sector workers.
