Primary school principals are doubling down on their call for a better pay offer. 

Principals belonging to the NZEI union have rejected the Government's latest collective agreement offer, including a 4.6% pay rise.  

They say it's substantially inferior to the deal accepted by secondary school principals. 

Principal Karl Vasau, the principal for Rowandale Primary School, told Andrew Dickens they're working hard to get huge changes implemented quickly, and they want acknowledgement.  

He says they're drawing a line in the sand. 

The Public Service Commissioner says he's disappointed the offer hasn't been accepted.
