JUST IN: Teacher Unions release a letter to address rumors on this year’s CPD Allowance.

 

The NPP government led by H.E Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo and Hon. Matthew Opoku Premepeh, the then Educational minister introduced a Continuous Professional Development (CPD) allowance to teachers in Ghana Education service.Continuous Professional Allowance is an allowance paid to teachers to build up their capacity through online courses, workshops, further studies etc. The payment of CPD began in 2020 November, in 2021 November, it was paid with a laptop deductions which some teachers  are yet to received their laptops, since it inception they always ensure it is paid on the said month, November, we commend them for that.

In about a week ago, a rumors was hovering on the internet saying this year’s professional Development Allowance will suffer a modem deduction, most teachers are agitating on this, some are very furious with this said rumors, others are cool with as our faiths are in limbo waiting to hear from the teacher unions.
