Two in three teachers say higher maximum salaries would encourage them to stay in the profession but some worry a plan to keep high-performing educators in the classroom will sow division.
About 200 high-performing teachers in 52 NSW public schools will, from term three, be able to earn up to $152,000 a year from term three through new roles to recognise excellence and leverage their expertise.
That pilot will expand to 800 positions under a $100 million election promise announced by Education Minister Sarah Mitchell on Tuesday.
