The National Legislative Assembly or NLA on Wednesday passed the new salary structure for public universities’ staff members with the Vice Chancellor fetching at least 35 thousand South Sudanese Pounds per month.
NLA Education Committee Chairperson Majur Babur Ajal while presenting a joint report on the new salary structure says the approval is a step forward in putting higher education on the right path and quality.
He adds that the committee also recommends speedy restructuring of salaries for general education including secondary and primary school teachers to build strong foundation.
The public universities’ new salary structure approval follows a series of strikes by lecturers since 2014.
