Satisfaction from the Education Minister, as secondary school teachers give the Government's latest offer the thumbs up

PPTA members have voted yes to a new collective agreement, which includes a 4.6 percent pay increase over two years.

Eighty percent will have a base salary of more than 100-thousand dollars, from late next month.

Minister Erica Stanford says it's been a tough road with the education union this time round.

She says this resolved itself in the end, with the union being clearer on what they were willing to negotiate on.
