Increasing teachers' salaries to 130% of the average wage in the Czech Republic would require boosting next year's education budget by CZK 35 billion, Daniel Münich of the IDEA think tank at CERGE-EI stated today.
According to Münich, bringing the education budget up to the average level of spending among member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) would require an additional CZK 40–50 billion. This year, the Ministry of Education is operating with an approved budget of CZK 284 billion. However, according to experts, next year's education budget should be at least CZK 334 billion. This amount corresponds to the share of gross domestic product that OECD countries spend on education on average.

The Czech government is due to announce the final composition of the country's delegation to this week's NATO summit in Ankara on Monday, following weeks of dispute over President Petr Pavel's participation.
In an interim order issued last week, the Constitutional Court instructed the government to include the president in the delegation after it had originally approved a list that excluded him. However, Foreign Minister Petr Macinka insists the court did not overturn the government's decision naming Prime Minister Andrej Babiš to lead the delegation. On Sunday, Macinka only indirectly confirmed that President Pavel had been accredited in line with the court's order.

The ruling ANO party would win a general election held in June with 32.2 percent of the vote, according to a STEM poll for CNN Prima News, published on Sunday.

According to STEM, STAN has gained the most support since last year's election, while support for SPD has remained broadly unchanged. Support for both the Pirates and the Motorists has fallen slightly.

Czech Foreign Minister Petr Macinka says Prime Minister Andrej Babiš will lead the Czech delegation to next week's NATO summit in Ankara. Speaking on CNN Prima News on Sunday, he also indicated that President Petr Pavel would attend the meeting, adding that the government would announce the final composition of the delegation on Monday.
The government and the president have been at odds for months over who should head the delegation. The government argues that defence spending, a key topic of the summit, falls within its remit. However, the Constitutional Court has ordered that President Pavel be accredited and provided with full support to attend.
According to Macinka, the court's interim ruling did not overturn the government's decision naming the prime minister as head of the delegation. Deputy Prime Minister Alena Schillerová said the court's decision must be respected and that the public would learn on Monday that the president had been accredited.
