The Education Minister's pleased to see secondary school teachers vote yes for their new collective agreement.  

PPTA members have accepted the Government's offer, which includes a 4.6% pay increase over two years and a million dollar a year fund for professional development.  

Minister Erica Stanford told Mike Hosking it's a good resolution and she's happy for teachers.  

She says they've worked hard to raise achievement and close the equity gap, and they deserve the pay rises they're getting over the next two years.
