Erica Stanford: Education Minister on primary principals striking a pay deal, primary teachers still holding off

Primary teachers are the last on the list in the education sector, still to strike a pay deal with the Government.  

Primary principals have accepted a cumulative 2.5% immediate pay rise and another 2.1% next year. 

It introduces a $15 thousand curriculum-change allowance, recognising their work implementing reforms. 

Education Minister Erica Stanford told Mike Hosking teachers want the Treaty of Waitangi acknowledged and increased learning support.
