NT: Ministers reject performance-based pay for teachers

Schools across Australia will adopt a standard national curriculum in core subjects
.. but state and territory ministers have refused to sign up to a performance-based pay
system for teachers.

Federal Education Minister JULIE BISHOP has endorsed a uniform teaching system in English
.. maths and science .. after a two-day meeting in Darwin with her state counterparts.

Victoria's acting Education Minister JACINTA ALLAN says the new curriculum won't involve
a one-size-fits-all approach .. and diversity will remain in different jurisdictions.
