The State Government will resume talks with the Victorian Teachers Union next week over a long-running pay and conditions dispute.

Negotiations stalled in November last year, with teachers calling for an annual four point two per cent pay increase, over three years.

Victoria's Teachers Union president, Meredith Peace, says she is hopeful the meeting next Thursday will lead to the resolution of the dispute.

"It's gone on far too long, we hope the government takes that opportunity to come to the table with a fair and reasonable offer, so that we can actually do a deal and then the dispute will be finished."
