Teachers salary

Annual allowance for remote teachers

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.

Still no response for teachers

No official response has yet to be made from the PNG Teachers Commission and other related Government agencies including the Chief Secretary, Isaac Lupari.

PNG Teachers Association National General Secretary, Ugwalubu Mowana said while they acknowledge the current cash flow issue the country is going through, they need to convene another meeting to address this.
