The Teacher Trainees Association of Ghana has given government a three-week ultimatum to pay all allowances owed them for the past six months.
In a statement jointly signed by President of the Association Dembie Abdul-Manan and General Secretary Abaidoo Felix, the Association petitioned the Education Minister and Director General of Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) to look into the issue.
The Association also expressed determination to take necessary steps to get government to redeem its pledge made to trainee teachers prior to the 2016 elections.
Restoration of the allowance has always received commendations by the public Colleges of Education in Ghana due to the significant relief it affords trainees.
However, it noted that teacher trainees across the 46 Colleges of Education for the past 6 months have not been paid their allowances.
According to the statement, leadership of the Association has on several occasions engaged the Minister of Education, Director General of GTEC and the CEO for Student Loan Trust Fund (SLTF) to seek the prompt payment of the Teacher Trainees’ allowance but has not yielded results.
The Association, therefore, expressed worry about the suffering of members due to non-payment of the allowances.
“It is worth stating that most trainees rely on the allowance to settle their school and examination fees hence the delay in its payment caused some trainees not to sit for the end of semester examination across various Colleges,” the statement said.
“It is out of this same allowance that the Principals in Colleges of Education
feed trainees from, and the delay in payment of the allowance has subjected them to constant borrowing.”
These the Teacher Trainees Association of Ghana claims are reasons why it issued the 3-week ultimatum to push government to pay members their 6-month allowances.

I'm impressed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that's both educative and entertaining,
and let me tell you, you've hit the nail
on the head. The issue is something not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about.
I'm very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something regarding this.
Truly when someone doesn't know afterward its up to other viewers that they will assist,

Este excelente site certamente tem todas as informações importantes que eu precisava sobre assunto
e não sabia a quem perguntar.
Here is my web blog refletor led Premium ip65 5m
I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of your site?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?
Its such as you learn my thoughts! You seem to
know a lot approximately this, such as you wrote the book in it or something.
I think that you can do with a few p.c. to pressure the message home
a little bit, but other than that, this is excellent blog.
A great read. I'll certainly be back.
