To address the issue, the Cabinet has authorised the Minister of Finance to reallocate about GH¢1.1 billion to absorb both health workers and teachers awaiting formal posting and salary validation. The Minister emphasised the government’s commitment to improving teacher welfare and streamlining recruitment and payment systems to prevent such delays in the future.
In addition to resolving the salary arrears issue, the Minister announced plans to recruit 53,000 new teachers into the Ghana Education Service and the Technical and Vocational Education and Training sector. This recruitment drive aims to strengthen the teaching workforce, improve educational delivery, and alleviate the workload on existing staff.
