The allowance is part of the 3 per cent increment payment but will be paid annually.
PNG Teachers Association (PNGTA) Vice President Shenell Kou said the allowance has been broken down into three categories - Remote, Very Remote and Extreme Remote.
“Teachers who are teaching in the extremely remote areas will be paid K7,000. Teachers teaching in very remote areas will be paid K6,000 and the teachers teaching in remote areas will be paid K5,000,” Kou said.
