What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

The Australian Education Union stated that a pay offer for ACT public school teachers was presented following talks that spanned over a year. The union said the offer included a 9 per cent increase to salaries over three years, along with extra pay for teachers at the top of the classroom pay scale and some school leaders. However, the union said the offer did not go far enough to address staffing and workload issues, which have led to chronic problems like class size issues in locations such as Split.

The union said it had made 25 claims during the bargaining process, only one of which concerned pay. The AEU president noted that while there was welcome movement, the union needed more detail to determine if the offer was acceptable for the entire membership. The union is currently discussing the offer.
