Teachers disappointed by new pay offer - analysis

From Morning Report, 7:28 am on 12 September 2018

The offer of a 9.3 percent pay rise over three years is better than the previous proposal for most teachers, but worse for new teachers. The response from teachers has been lukewarm. Our education correspondent John Gerritsen has been talking to teachers and principals about the offer.
