The Teacher Trainees’ Association of Ghana (TTAG) has raised alarm over the prolonged uncertainty surrounding the recruitment and posting of trained teachers from the 2022 backlog and the 2023 batch, as well as the non-payment of over ten months’ salaries to newly recruited teachers.
The association said the delays are causing significant hardship for teachers who have already committed themselves to national service in classrooms across the country.
In a statement issued on September 8, TTAG called on the Ministries of Education and Finance to provide clear and transparent updates on the recruitment and placement processes and to expedite payment of accumulated salary arrears.
The association emphasized the importance of communicating timelines to all stakeholders to restore confidence in the education system.
While acknowledging some prior interventions by government, TTAG warned that if these matters remain unresolved, it will be forced to explore “other legitimate options” to defend the welfare and dignity of its members.
The association reaffirmed its readiness to engage in dialogue but stressed the need for urgent action to address the growing challenges faced by Ghana’s teacher trainees.
