Government's Latest pay Offer to PPTA w Acting President Chris Abercrombie: Tuesday, August 8 2023

The Government has just announced that they will honour an independent arbitration panel’s recommendations, regarding a pay offer agreement with the Post Primary Techer’s association. 

As part of the pay offer the base salary of secondary teachers will rise 14.5 per cent.

However, the latest offer will mean cuts to other parts of the ministry of Education's budget, including deferring planned school infrastructure projects.
