Salaries

For secondary teachers, the collective agreement and individual employment contracts section of the Ministry of Education’s website gives information on such things as remuneration and allowances, hours of work, and leave provisions.

Loan Support Scheme

The Loan Support Scheme has been closed to new applicants from 2009 as it has been superseded by the Teacher Voluntary Bonding Scheme. However, those teachers who have received Loan Support Scheme payments in the past, and continue to meet the eligibility criteria, can apply for their next payment in the usual way. The 2009 Loan Support Scheme application form is available to download below.

The Loan Support Scheme will cease from the beginning of 2011.
