The Ministry of Education says principals from across its seven regions have reported that teachers paid through their bursaries have now received their April salaries.
It says all other teachers paid directly by the ministry have also received their salaries.
A media release from the ministry on Thursday said Education Minister Fayval Williams noted that checks were conducted by the regional offices with principals and the reports indicated funds had been received.
On Tuesday many teachers reported they had not received their salaries.
It followed similar complaints last month, where civil servants had to wait days after the due date to receive their salaries.
