By Henry Booysen

The Occupational Specific Dispensation for teachers is to be signed on Wednesday 2 April by all teacher unions after a long wait.

President of the National Professional Teachers Organisation of South Africa (NAPTOSA) Dave Balt says the signing of the document would be the start of negotiations, proposals and counter-proposals which has been continuing from September 2007.

“Teachers certainly stand to benefit with the back pay coming, with everything increasing, the signing of the document is extremely welcome,” says Balt.

The signing of the document would mean that the teacher salary structure would take a new form and would increase in general.
