Gov't pays arrears of 15,000 teachers

The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) says the outstanding salaries of 15 000 teachers have been paid.

The teachers were cut off from their monthly salaries for two years due to Government’s inability to meet the financial demand.

In an interview with Citi News the General Secretary of GNAT Peter Korda said the last batch of payment would be affected by the end of May.

He said the delay was because some of the teachers had possible failed to send certain documents to the district education offices which left over 15,000 teachers unpaid.

“It could also be that the documents of the teachers were not forwarded to the head offices in Accra caused the delay but that has been rectified now,” Korda told Citi News. **
