The New South Wales (NSW) premier Chris Minns has stopped short of ordering teachers to accept a four-year pay deal to lock in an initial wage increase that would see them become the country’s best-paid classroom leaders.

Under the state government’s latest offer to end pay dispute, salaries for entry-level teachers would increase by about 12 percent from October, which is above the pay deal currently covering teachers in  Victoria, Queensland and ACT.
