Teachers in Saskatchewan have signed a new agreement with the province after nearly two years of bargaining.
The Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation says the deal is retroactive to Sept. 1, 2023, and will see teachers get a nine per cent pay increase over three years.
It says the agreement was finalized last week after the sides agreed to language relating to the issue of class complexity.
Education Minister Everett Hindley said in a statement the province appreciates the work teachers do and is pleased to see the agreement provide certainty for teachers, students and families.
Last May, teachers rejected a three-year offer from the province, with 90 per cent voting no.
The federation and the province had been at an impasse for months before that vote, with teachers taking job action like going on rotating strikes and pulling volunteer work for extracurricular activities.
