Madang Teachers still waiting for Leave Fares

Several teachers in Madang Province are still waiting for their leave fares for 2017 and 2018.

This is because of a funding shortage.

Provincial Education Director, Moses Sariki told NBC News that some teachers were paid only half their total leave fares for 2017 last year; whilst others have not been paid anything at all and are still waiting.

President of the Madang Branch of the P-N-G Teachers' Association, Remsey Ossy says teachers will be meeting on Thursday to further discuss this matter, and will continue to pursue it with the Provincial Government and Administration until they are settled.
