GHC370 exam fee suspension - TTAG to final year students.
The Teacher Trainees Association of Ghana (TTAG) has expressed its displeasure with the management of the country's various Colleges of Education for directing trainee teachers to pay GHS 370.00 as first semester examination fees.
This is in response to a directive from the University of Cape Coast (UCC) requiring all final-year students in Colleges of Education to pay a GHS370 first-semester examination fee.
The TTAG leadership issued a statement on Thursday, September 15, 2022, directing trainees to "stop payment of the GHS370.00 indicated as the first-semester examination fee until further notice."
It urged all TTAG local and sector executives to "ensure first-semester year trainees follow this directive strictly until they hear from the National Secretariat on this issue."
It also urged "all students to remain steadfast and rely on its unwavering leadership."

"Members will be kept up to date on any subsequent developments."
The association's leadership assured members that it "will follow through to bring finality to bear on the matter."
Teachers in all 46 colleges across the country went on annual leave on Thursday, September 1, 2022, after working without a break for a year.
