TTAG directs trainees with no allowance payments to report to local executives

  • TTAG directs trainees with no allowance payments to report to local executives

The Teacher Trainees’ Association of Ghana (TTAG) has asked students who have not received any allowance in the first and second disbursements to submit their details to their respective local executives by Tuesday, 10 November.

The directive follows complaints from trainees over differences in the recent payments, with some receiving allowances for two months, others three months, and some four months.

In a press release dated Monday, 9 November, TTAG said it had engaged the Student Loan Trust Fund (SLTF) over the concerns and was informed that the disbursement process had been completed.

The association said the SLTF had explained that trainees who received fewer months of allowances than expected still had outstanding balances to be paid.

It therefore urged students who received partial payments to remain calm, noting that the fund was handling their outstanding balances.

However, trainees who received no payment in both disbursements have been asked to report to their local TTAG Students’ Representative Council (SRC) executives for their details to be recorded.

The required information includes their full names, Ghana Card numbers, and index numbers.

TTAG said the local executives would compile college-based lists and forward them to the National Secretariat for submission to the SLTF.

It cautioned the executives to ensure that the lists are accurate, contain no duplicate entries, and include only students who have not received any allowance.

The association stressed that trainees who received partial payments should not be included in the exercise because their outstanding balances are already being handled by the SLTF.

TTAG said its National Secretariat would continue engaging the Fund and update trainees as further information becomes available.

The association reaffirmed its commitment to protecting the welfare of teacher trainees across Ghana’s 49 public Colleges of Education.
