On 16 June, the trade unions LCGB and OGBL reached an agreement with the St George's School Board of Directors to renew the collective agreement covering around 230 employees at St George's International School.
The new agreement will run until 31 December 2028 and includes several key changes designed to support career development and enhance social benefits for staff across the school.
Among the main measures is the introduction of a structured career pathway for teachers without formal teaching qualifications, aimed at recognising on-the-job experience and creating fairer progression opportunities. Administrative staff will also benefit from greater flexibility in how they take leave.
In addition, the agreement introduces death and disability insurance, providing increased financial security for employees and their families. A complementary pension scheme will also be implemented.
Finally, the value of meal vouchers will rise to €12.20, a move intended to help offset daily living costs and improve purchasing power.
The unions described the agreement as a significant step forward in strengthening the social framework within the school.
