Three teacher groups warned the government about late payments for their book money. The University Teachers Association of Ghana, Technical University Teachers Association of Ghana, and Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana met Sunday to discuss the problem. Government officials have not announced the exchange rate or started paying teachers their research allowance. Teachers say they need this money to buy books and do research work. The delay has left many educators worried about their future studies.
The three unions demand action before Friday, June 13. They will start a strike if the government does not begin payments. Teachers across all campuses will stop working if nothing happens. The unions called the delay deeply concerning and unfair to academic staff. They want the government to release payment rates and start sending money to members.
The allowance helps teachers conduct research and advance their academic careers. Union leaders say this payment is required under their work contracts. Teachers cannot wait past September 2025 for their money. The government must act fast to prevent problems with the school calendar. All six union executives signed the warning letter to government officials.
