PNGTA executives were advised by the Industrial Registrar to prepare for elections as soon as possible.
“We are supposed to conduct election after April 2023 with the confirmation from the Industrial Registrar, Helen Saleu. She wrote a letter to us stating to prepare for the elections and conduct as soon as possible,” said PNGTA president Aita Sanangkepe.
He said the deferral was due to several reasons. One being delay of teacher’s fortnightly pay as well as common roll update.
“We have been instructed that this election has to be done.”
