There's confidence secondary teachers will accept a new pay deal.

The Government has agreed to offer a 14.5 percent increase, recommended by an Arbitration Panel.

It now goes to a vote.

Principal of Auckland's Sacred Heart College, Patrick Walsh told Mike Hosking he expects they'll approve it.

He says it's a great result for secondary teachers - and the rest of the profession - as the deal will be passed on to the primary and early childhood sectors.
