The government has agreed to a 10-percent wage rise for teachers in 2026.
The pay rise is a part of the draft bill for next year’s state budget, agreed by the two coalition parties, Reform and Eesti 200.
Rescue Board (Päästeamet) and Police and Border Guard Board (PPA) personnel will also get a 10 percent rise for next year, with around €117 million earmarked for that purpose in the budget for next year.

Scrapping a planned hike to income tax of two percentage points has also been confirmed.
