«We Do Not Have Enough Eloquence Like a Deputy to Say We Did Not Receive Bonuses» - History Teacher Vahram Tokmajyan

How many teachers received bonuses, or do we not have enough eloquence like a deputy? This was stated by history teacher Vahram Tokmajyan from the Mkhitar Sebastatsi Educational Complex on his Facebook page, addressing the awarding of bonuses to state system employees.

“One of the deputies says that on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of independence, the entire state system received bonuses. The state is the client of general education. This means the teacher is also part of the state system. How many teachers received bonuses, or do we not have enough eloquence like a deputy?”

“And yes, I will continue to ask for money for teachers, to constantly shout about the miserable state of wages, and this is not 'greed'. If you want good education, good specialists, then pay. The more you pay, the more you get; there's no other nonsense to read. I’m not going to bring you stars from the sky with a salary of 140,000 drams (including taxes), nor do I have motivation for self-education. And those who blame teachers for the possible sins are a special kind of weed, which we will address later,” he wrote.
