Govt maintaining line on teachers’ salaries

PA Wellington The Government is sticking to its decision to cut the teachers’ salaries grant to private schools, said the Minister of Education, Mr Marshall, yesterday. The move to cut the grant in two stages has met with opposition from private schools and produced a flood of petitions to Parliament urging the Government to restore the grant to pre-Budget levels.

Mr Marshall met independent school principals several weeks ago and took their paper to a Cabinet committee. However, the committee decided to affirm the earlier decision and that was confirmed at the Cabinet on Monday. Explaining the decision, Mr Marshall said he had been required to find savings in the last expenditure review. He said that next

month’s tax changes would particularly benefit middle-income earners who represented a significant number of the users of independent schools. The exception was Rudolph Steiner schools, which had a broader cross-section of children. Mr Marshall said there was an "escape clause” for independent schools facing the grant cut — the opportunity to integrate with the State system.
