Secondary teachers meet to discuss government’s
offer
Secondary teachers from around the country meet in Wellington today to discuss a recommendation that they reject the government’s offer for their collective agreement.
After thorough analysis and taking into account feedback from members, the executive of the Post Primary Teachers’ Association are recommending conference delgates reject the offer. Delegates will decide whether to reject the offer, or to accept it and take it out to members for ratification.
PPTA president Jack Boyle says “This offer doesn’t come anywhere near addressing the teacher shortages we are facing. We cannot countenance putting generations of young people’s learning at risk because there are not enough teachers to staff schools.”
The PPTA will hold paid union meetings around the country beginning 7 November.
