The primary teaching union has revealed it didn't get everything it wanted from its latest collective agreement.

NZEI members have approved the agreement, with pay rises, more classroom release time, and extra allowances for bilingual and cultural immersion teachers.

It ends months of disruptive industrial action.

Union president Mark Potter says while the agreement is good news, it probably still isn't enough, and it isn't in line with other countries.

"We need to create that provision, and we also then need to resource it by providing a sustainable teaching workforce."
