So what makes a big difference, “he said. According to the Minister of Education, referring to education on questionable taxes on alcohol, tobacco or oil is nonsense.” The Minister of Finance himself cannot estimate their revenue.

That’s enough to increase teachers’ salaries, “Gröhling said. “He pointed out that there is already enough overcrowding to increase teachers’ salaries.
