Insists Island teachers aren't worse off than those in UK
The education minister believes pay for Manx teachers is on a par with those in the UK.
Teachers union NASUWT has asked the Manx Industrial Relations Service to review the latest pay offer for its members, claiming it leaves them 20% worse off than those working in English schools, and 30% down compared to a decade ago.
Pay for teachers on the Island is set by a UK body.
Graham Cregeen insists the higher cost of living is offset by other circumstances:
Port St Mary RNLI joins forces with RAF for training exercise
Affordable homes don't always include building management costs says MHK
Man who caused 'nasty injury' to police officer ordered to pay compensation
