SNCT Pay Claim 2025-2026
At the SNCT Teachers’ Side meeting on Friday 7 February 2025 a pay claim was agreed. The SSTA position was for a pay claim that is above the 3.5% Consumer Price Inflation (CPI) figure plus a significant % increase in restoring teacher salaries to the ‘true’ value seen in the past. It was decided to delay the announcement of the pay claim until the end of the week to allow some time for the dispute on the reduction in class contact time to be progressed.
