Teachers take it to the street

About 350 primary school teachers picket on Portsmouth Dr following a New Zealand Educational Institute union meeting at the Edgar Centre, in Dunedin, yesterday.

The meeting was to discuss the primary teachers' collective agreement, Novopay issues and the Government's Global Education Reform Movement.

The results of a technical audit of the flawed Novopay payroll system will probably be released today.

The review, by consultancy firm Deloitte, to be released by Minister in Charge of Novopay Steven Joyce, will outline whether the system can be fixed or whether it should be ditched.
