Photo: RNZEducation Minister Chris Hipkins says secondary principals' claim for a 15% pay rise is unlikely to be successful. Scott Haines from the Secondary Principals Association's union said the negotiating environment was clearly difficult. PPTA Principals Council president James Morris said the claim for a 15% pay rise was fair. Mr Hipkins said he was not familiar with the secondary principals' claim but poured cold water on their bid for a 15% pay rise. The average pay for secondary principals was $157,300.
