Teachers retire to dodge benefit cut

Twenty-five teachers in Saga Prefecture retired by the end of December, three months earlier than scheduled, before the prefectural government cut their retirement allowance Jan. 1, board of education officials said Jan. 23.

The teachers, as well as 11 school officials, quit before the Saga government trimmed as much as ¥1.5 million from each of their allowances in line with the national policy of reducing benefits for central government officials, the Saga board said.

In Saitama Prefecture, 108 teachers and some 30 officials have expressed their intention to quit by the end of January, before the government there slashes up to ¥1.5 million from their allowances in February.

In a similar development, 142 police officers and personnel in Aichi Prefecture plan to retire by the end of February, one month earlier than originally slated, before their retirement packages are cut by an average of ¥1.5 million in March. (Kyodo News)
