TOKYO, May 14 (News On Japan) - An advisory body of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has recommended increasing the "adjustment amount" paid to public school teachers in place of overtime pay from the current 4% of their monthly salary to over 10%.
The proposed increase, tabled on May 13, would require a legal amendment, but if implemented, it would be the first raise in half a century.
