The Malta Union of Teachers has suspended a work to rule directive, Education Minister Dolores Cristina and MUT President John Bencini announced separately this afternoon.

The work to rule was due to come into force on Monday, following on today's teachers' strike in government schools.

The minister said the two sides had agreed to meet on Monday to continue talks on the supply category. On May 11 they will discuss a schedule of meetings to address amendments to the 2007 reform agreement.

She said both sides had expressed satisfaction that a way forward had been found.

Mr Bencini confirmed that the directive had been called off and said the union was hoping for an early conclusion to outstanding issues (see comments on video above).
