President of the Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU), Mark Lyte has denied all suggestions about an acceptance of a 7% agreement offered by the Government to the GTU.

Lyte said in a broadcast yesterday, “no one has accepted any proposed percentage offered by the Ministry or the Government, nor will we accept if that is the position of government to offer.” He emphasized that the negotiations are still ongoing, and no agreement has been formally signed between the GTU and the Ministry of Education.
