School leaders on the Island are calling for negotiations on pay to be reopened following a vote to reject the latest pay offer.
55% of NAHT members voted to turn down the offer in a secret ballot yesterday.
The union has now written to the Education Minister Julie Edge and Chief Executive Officer.
Rob Kelsall, NAHT National Secretary, said: "Members have said in a clear, united voice that they want to see a fair settlement. The offer from DESC fell well below our original claim for investment into the profession and doesn't address the immediate and unprecedented workload demands that has been placed on teachers as a result of the ongoing global pandemic.
"The future of the Isle of Man's economy lies with the quality of our education system and the level of investment in those who lead schools and teach our children. Education is an investment, not only in our children's life chances, but in the island's future.
"We hope to reopen negotiations with the Government and that the DESC can secure additional investment from the Treasury to invest in the Isle of Man's future."
