VIC:Vic teachers demand pay rise

The teachers' union will today hit Victoria's new coalition government with a list
of demands .. including a massive 10 per cent annual pay rise for three years from 2012.

The Australian Education Union's Victorian branch is pushing for the boost after Teaching
Profession Minister PETER HALL said teachers need to be rewarded for good results.

Mr HALL says the state's teachers deserve to be the highest paid in Australia.

The union says it wants to create a new pay rate of 110-thousand dollars for highly
accomplished teachers .. fewer teachers on contract and smaller class sizes.
