Within three years, the annual pay for teachers at the top of the salary grid will be $10,000 to $13,500 more per year than it is now, according to the BCTF.
VANCOUVER — A tentative contract has been reached for British Columbia's 49,000 public school teachers in a deal the union says would take them from near the bottom to the "top tier" of pay in Canada.
"If ratified, this agreement will take us from near the lowest-paid teachers in Canada into the top tier. I am deeply grateful to the members of the team who worked so hard to get us to this point," Johnston said. By the end of the three-year term, Johnston said, new members’ annual salary will be approximately $6,000 to $8,500 per year higher than it is now, depending on their grid placement and category.
The BC Public School Employers Association, which negotiates on behalf of the provincial government, said the agreement was reached on Friday.
