The new four-year industrial relations award allows Premier Chris Minns’ government to kick the salary can down the road without revealing how much teachers will receive in the following three years. Exactly how much money teachers will receive in subsequent years will be dependent on the government’s wages policy. “All that will be clear in the budget in a few weeks time,” said NSW Education Minister Prue Car.So, pay uncertainty lies in the future for the state’s teachers.
