Teachers and the Icelandic Association of Local Authorities have come to a temporary agreement for the period of one year with a pay rise of 7.3% on December 1st and 3.5% on March 1st.
They will also be receiving a sum of ISK 204,000 on 1 January. Teachers and the Icelandic Association of Local Authorities have been undertaking long meetings in the past few days and another meeting of support was scheduled for this afternoon in which schools were set to close.
All school activity will therefore be as normal today.
