THE Papua New Guinea Teachers Association has assured its members that they will still receive their three per cent pay increments for this year. Association president Aita Sanangkepe said they would be paid the increments once all processes were completed. “All teachers will be backdated their three per cent increments to Jan 1, 2023,” he said. He added that the association and the Teaching Service Commission already had a memorandum of agreement (MoA) on teachers’ salaries and allowances from 2023 to 2025, which included the three per cent pay increment. “We have already submitted the MoA to the Department of National Planning and Monitoring,” he said.
The commission confirmed that there are some technicalities with the MoA and that the department is still trying to finalise the document.” Sanangkepe said the association could not say whether the Government would address the MoA in the 2024 national budget. “The Department of Personnel Management must explain to the teachers why it is taking so long to address the MoA,” he said.
