Kazakhstan’s bold law triples teacher salaries and reshapes education
A 2019 law in Kazakhstan has transformed the teaching profession, bringing higher finance, better benefits, and stronger protections for educators. Signed by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, the legislation has tripled average money and introduced new financial incentives to attract and retain talent in schools. Before the law, the average teacher’s money stood at 109,000 tenge. Today, that figure has risen to 390,000 tenge, with additional bonuses for homeroom duties and grading now doubled. Teachers holding master’s degrees also receive a monthly supplement of around 44,000 tenge. The changes extend beyond wages: hundreds of thousands of educators now get monthly bonuses of 30% to 50% of their base money, depending on their qualifications and experience. The reforms have reshaped Kazakhstan’s education sector, offering teachers financial security, professional respect, and career stability. With higher money, stronger protections, and improved working conditions, the law has positioned teaching as a leading profession for the country’s brightest graduates.
