Newly recruited Teachers threaten demo over salary arrears
Newly recruited teachers from the country’s Colleges of Education have threatened to embark on a nationwide strike on May 22, over the non- payment of their salary arrears.
The President of the Group, Abubakar Suale, told Citi fm their decision has become necessary following the failure of the Ministry of Education, the Ghana Education Service, and the Controller and Accountants Generals’ Department to heed to their demands.
The teachers, numbering over twenty thousand, said they had not been paid a dime since they were posted in September 2016.
Explaining their situation, the President of the Coalition, Samuel Yeboah, said some of his colleagues who were posted to deprived communities had to depend on loans for rent and payment of other necessities.
