 The Education Secretary has told MPs   
 there is "a considerable gulf" between 
 an agreement reached on teachers' pay  
 and conditions and his own proposals.  
                                        
 Mr Kenneth Baker said some progress had
 been made but "major points of concern"
 remained - particularly on the cost and
 shape of pay structure.                
                                        
 Mr Baker said ACAS negotiations would  
 resume on Wednesday following the draft
 agreement reached on Saturday between  
 the employers and most teaching unions.
                                        
 He said the aim was to achieve a pay   
 structure that rewarded good teachers  
 and provided continuing incentives.
