The Teacher Trainees’ Association of Ghana (TTAG) has announced the commencement of the disbursement of trainee allowances to eligible beneficiaries across Colleges of Education nationwide.
In a statement issued on Saturday, July 18, the TTAG National Secretariat said the payments are being made in batches, with trainees from institutions whose data have been fully validated already receiving their allowances.
The Association expressed appreciation to the Government of Ghana for fulfilling its commitment to supporting the welfare of teacher trainees through the payment of the allowances.
TTAG also commended the Ministry of Education, the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC), the Student Loan Trust Fund (SLTF), the Conference of Principals of Colleges of Education (PRINCOF), and other stakeholders for their roles in ensuring a smooth disbursement process.
According to the Association, the trainee allowance remains an important intervention that helps reduce the financial burden on students pursuing teacher education by supporting their academic and living expenses.
“We are reliably informed that the disbursement is being carried out in batches. Accordingly, payments have commenced for Colleges whose trainee data have been fully validated,” the statement said.
TTAG explained that trainees in Colleges of Education whose data are yet to be validated will receive their allowances once the process is completed by the relevant authorities.
The Association has urged trainees who are yet to receive their allowances to remain calm and exercise patience as the payment process continues.
It assured members that it would continue engaging with the relevant institutions to ensure the timely and smooth payment of allowances to all eligible teacher trainees.
