The Public Service Commissioner says teachers are putting themselves ahead of students as they again vote to strike.
Brian Roche says the pay offer to teachers -which includes a 4.7 percent pay rise over 12 months - was a very good one.
PPTA president Chris Abercrombie told Heather du-Plessis Allan that teachers have many sticking points with the latest offer.
But he won't say exactly how many teachers supported the strike.
He says that's the union's policy - but there was overwhelming support from members to take industrial action.
