The Minister of Education, Hon.Haruna Iddrisu, has announced plans to transition teacher training allowances into an enhanced student loan scheme to allow students to cater for their own feeding and personal expenses.

The minister explained that while the allowances would be maintained in the interim, the government intended to phase the allowance system out gradually.

Tertiary students should be financially independent and responsible for their own meals, he explained.

The majority of Ghanaians on this topic vented that the allowance given to teacher trainees has served its purpose in the past and is not relevant in today’s system. In other words, they mean the teacher trainee allowance has outlived its usefulness.
