Schools in Northern region of Malaita will start classes late

North Malaita's Senior Education Officer Lency Waneatona has expressed concern over the Province's delay in meeting teachers' return travel expenses to resume duty.

Mr Waneatona told SIBC from Malu'u that most schools in the North Malaita region have not started classes yet as most teachers, who have gone back to their respective homes for the holidays have not returned.

He says according to the newly approved teaching service handbook, each province is responsible in meeting travelling expenses for it's teachers at the end of the year.

The Senior Education Officer says it is important that teachers' travel expenses are met so that students are not victimised from the delay.
