Letter of the Day | Pay the teachers better
THE EDITOR, Madam: There is growing concern about teachers’ salaries. Entry-level, untrained teachers cannot afford to live on a salary of J$154,262.76 after tax. Because of this low income, they also cannot afford the certification required to become trained teachers, purchase a car to transport themselves safely to and from work, or buy NHT houses on the market today.
