The Ministry of Education has welcomed today’s settlement of the Secondary Teachers’ Collective Agreement (STCA).

“We’re very pleased that advocates from the Ministry and from the PPTA have agreed on a good settlement that is fair to all parties,” said Secretary for Education Karen Sewell.

“We hope that PPTA members will ratify the settlement. New Zealand’s schools, students, families and communities need to know that the bargaining process has finished,” Karen Sewell said.
