The Government and teachers’ unions reconvene for make-or-break pay talks on Tuesday after parties appeared to take hardline positions last weekend.

Tuesday’s session is critical as the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is expected to table a counter offer that unions say holds the key to averting a nationwide strike by their members.
