The Guyana Teachers' Union has rejected the government's multi-year package for teachers which included a 10 per cent hike for this year amid signs of a deep division in the union.
General Secretary of the Union Coretta McDonald described the proposed package as "not good for all teachers," highlighting significant dissatisfaction with the offer.
The rejection was announced following talks on Wednesday between the GTU and the Ministry of Education. During the discussions, proposals for salary increases over the next three years were presented, with the Government offering 10 per cent for 2024, nine per cent for 2025, and eight per cent for 2026.
Ms. McDonald emphasized that these increases, when adjusted for taxes, do not adequately address the financial challenges faced by teachers.
