The secondary teachers union hopes students haven't paid the price for their industrial action.

PPTA members have accepted the most recent collective agreement, meaning around 30,000 teachers will receive a 14.5-percent pay bump.

PPTA Acting President Chris Abercrombie told Mike Hosking he hopes disruption hasn't been too much for students.

He says they want to make sure they have teachers in front of kids, and this goes some way to help that.

Abercrombie says there are still issues to address, such as more support for Māori teachers.
