KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Jamaica Teachers’ Association (JTA) has raised concerns over the repeated failure of Glenmuir High School to fully compensate its teaching staff. This marks the second instance this year where educators at the institution have not received their complete salaries on time. In a strongly worded letter addressed to the school’s board chairman, the JTA expressed deep disappointment and demanded immediate rectification. The association emphasized that the school is in violation of the Education Regulation of 1980, which mandates that teachers employed from the first day of the term must receive their full monthly salary. The JTA warned that the institution is liable for any late charges incurred by staff if the payment is not made within 24 hours. They urged the school to ensure that teachers receive their full salaries promptly to enable them to meet their financial obligations. This issue highlights ongoing challenges in the education sector regarding fair compensation and adherence to regulatory standards.
