The NKR government passed a law today regarding supplemental income payments for teachers assigned to schools outside their home districts. According to the program, certain teachers are eligible for supplemental payments of up to 50% of their base salary. The plan also calls for rent allowances in the maximum amount of 20,000 AMD per month. NKR Science and Education Minister Vladik Khachatryan stated that any citizen with a higher education can apply for a teacher's license but that preference is given to residents of a particular district.
