教員基本給上乗せ１０％へ　３０年度までに段階的引き上げ―政府

　政府は２４日、公立学校教員に対し、残業代の代わりに基本給の４％を上乗せ支給している「教職調整額」について、２０２５年度から３０年度にかけて１０％に段階的に引き上げる方針を決めた。２５年度は５％にする。加藤勝信財務相と阿部俊子文部科学相が同日の閣僚折衝で合意した。
　教職調整額は「教員給与特別措置法」（給特法）で定められている。増額は２６年１月からとなる見通し。１９７２年の同法施行以来、約５０年ぶりの引き上げとなる。（2024/12/24-19:32）

The Japanese government Tuesday decided to raise the so-called adjustment allowances for public school teachers, paid instead of overtime, gradually to 10 pct of base salaries from the current 4 pct.
   The rate will rise to 5 pct in fiscal 2025 and reach 10 pct eventually in fiscal 2030. Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato and education minister Toshiko Abe agreed on the hike in their meeting the same day.
   The allowances are stipulated in the special measures law on salaries of public school teachers. The hike, expected to start in January 2026 during fiscal 2025, would be the first since the law came into force in 1972.
   "The environment surrounding teachers will change drastically" due to the hike, Abe told a news conference after her meeting with Kato.
   She also outlined plans to implement work style reforms for teachers, aiming to reduce average monthly overtime hours by about 30 pct to 30 hours over the five years through fiscal 2029.
