The Teacher Unions, the Ghana National Association of Teachers, GNAT, the National
Association of Graduate Teachers, NAGRAT, and the Coalition of Concerned teachers
CCT-GH, wish to bring to the attention of the Honourable Minister of Education and the
Ghana Education Service some developments affecting Teachers and education delivery in
the country.
- RESPONSIBILITY ALLOWANCE
Teachers who hold various responsibilities in our educational institutions and are entitled
to responsibility, allowance have had their allowances stopped when they were promoted to
another rank. Despite several efforts by the affected Teachers and the Teacher Unions, a
great number of these Teachers have not had their responsibility allowances restored.
- UPGRADING OF TEACHERS
Another problem that is demotivating and demoralizing Teachers is the failure of Ghana
Education Service to upgrade to the appropriate ranks Teachers who have both on their
own, financed themselves to acquire degrees, and those who have completed their study
leave with or without pay
CALL TO ACTION
We call on the Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service (GES) to as a matter
of urgency, take steps to address these issues by the end of April, 2021, to ensure industrial
peace
