Members of the Solomon Islands National Teachers Association (SINTA) in Malaita are calling for an update of the names of members in the system.
SINTA was formed to advocate for teachers’ welfare, professional rights and improved working conditions.
A concerned and long-time teacher under the Malaita Provincial Education Authority who requested that his name be withheld for confidential purposes, said the body needs to update its system.
He said he was frustrated when he wanted to check his name in the system in November last year after he noticed a deduction in his pay slip, but his name was not in the system.
“In November last year, I went to the office to check if I was a registered member of SINTA after I noticed deductions already made in my pay slip for SINTA.
“However, when I checked for my name, it was not in the membership list on the computer at the front desk,” he said.
Meanwhile, he questioned how long it would take for the names of their members to be updated in the membership list.
He said that many members faced the same issue, which is why he is calling for an urgent update of the membership list.
“I am not the only one who has come across this issue; many have been experiencing it,” he said.
