The leadership of the Teacher Trainees’ Association of Ghana (TTAG) led by Mr Jonathan Dzunu has stated unequivocally that, the entire membership does not know when the government will
pay the arrears of the allowance.
In an interview by Alfred Ocansey on 3FM’s Sunrise on Thursday, TTAG President, Mr Jonathan Dzunu disclosed that the government is owing teacher trainees four (4) months arrears.
“We have four months of arrears of the allowances and that is not because the economy is in crisis. This is a new administration and we are yet to meet them. We met with the student loans trust fund and they said it will be paid, but for now, we were not given a specific date.”
Responding to questions of the interview, TTAG President has said that “Taken it off will create a
different problem. Are you looking at the consequences you are putting on the students too? We are from poor homes so the allowances are what most students depend on.”
Mr Dzunu added that “some students have not seen their last semester results because they could not pay their exams fees.”
“So when you do that, you are pushing the students into a tight corner” he asseverated passionately.
He noted that the leadership of the Association is hoping to start engagement from Monday, 28th March 2022
