March 23 is Teachers' Minimum Wage Day
March 23 is Teachers' Minimum Wage Day, a date that reinforces the importance of valuing education professionals in Brazil. The minimum wage for teachers was established by Law No. 11,738 of 2008, guaranteeing a minimum amount to be paid to basic education teachers throughout the country.
The date serves to raise awareness about the need for better working conditions and fair pay for educators, who play an essential role in the education of new generations. In addition, movements and entities linked to education take advantage of the day to demand adjustments and updates to the minimum wage, ensuring that teachers receive a decent salary that is compatible with their responsibility in society.
Several actions, debates and demonstrations are promoted in different states to reinforce the fight for more investment in education and for the appreciation of the teaching career.
