Teachers across Solomon Islands have gone on strike again.
The National Teachers Association says more than 8,000 teachers are on an indefinite strike until the government honours a commitment to pay outstanding salary rises and arrears.
Teachers went on strike earlier this year but returned to work after the government promised to make the payments in three installments over four weeks.
The President of the Teachers' Association, Samson Faisi, says the government has broken its promise.
"The only proper and most right thing that the government should do is to pay the teachers. That's all. Go ahead on the re-levelling, pay the arrears then they go back to class."
Samson Faisi says the government has only paid its dues to about 2,000 teachers and more than 6,000 are still awaiting their pay rises.
