About this listen

An Upper Hutt primary school principal says their workloads are comparable with secondary school principals, and they deserve a better pay offer.

Principals who belong to the NZEI union have rejected the Government's latest collective agreement proposal.

They say it fails to acknowledge their work.

Birchville School Principal Robyn Brown told Heather du Plessis-Allan unlike secondary principals, they weren't offered a curriculum change allowance, and the pay rise amounts to a cut.

She says primary school principals have far fewer people to implement curriculum change.
