教員「残業代」、５０年ぶり増額へ　現行の２．５倍以上案―中教審

　公立学校教員の待遇改善策を議論している中央教育審議会（文部科学相の諮問機関）の特別部会が、残業代の代わりに月給の４％を支給する「教職調整額」を引き上げる方向で調整に入ったことが１２日、分かった。現在の２．５倍以上となる１０％以上とする案があり、長時間労働の是正などと合わせ、５月ごろに取りまとめる改善策の方向性に盛り込む。

Japan is considering raising so-called adjustment allowances for public school teachers, which are paid instead of overtime pay, for the first time in about 50 years, sources said Friday.
   A special subgroup of the Central Council for Education, which advises the education minister, is examining boosting the adjustment allowances, currently set at 4 pct of monthly salary, as part of measures to improve the treatment of public school teachers.
   There has been a proposal for raising the allowances to 10 pct of monthly salary or even higher, the sources said.
   The allowances are based on the special measures law on salaries of educational personnel of public compulsory education schools, which entered into force in 1972.
   Over how to improve working conditions for public school teachers, some experts have proposed that the current fixed-amount allowances be replaced by overtime benefits whose amounts vary depending on the hours worked overtime.
