The secondary school teachers union is confident its members will take its advice and reject the Government's latest agreement offer. 

It almost doubles the pay increase included in their last offer, but the union says it's unevenly spread across the teaching workforce and sits below inflation. 

PPTA President Chris Abercrombie says teachers can vote any way they want, but the National Executive's recommending sending the offer back.

"The conversations I have this year with teachers and continue to have is that this doesn't meet what they need - what they see happening every single day in schools."
