Minister of Education Haruna Iddrisu has assured all newly trained teachers that the payment of their salaries is on the way, pending the presentation of the Mid-Year Supplementary Budget by the Minister of Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.
Addressing Parliament after a concern was raised by Hon. Samuel Atta-Mills, Member of Parliament for Komenda/Edina/Eguafo/Abrem, the Education Minister revealed that the process to issue Staff Identification Cards to newly trained teachers is already underway — a necessary step before salary disbursements can begin.
“Once the Mid-Year Budget is presented, payments will follow. The process has already begun to issue staff IDs to facilitate this,” Haruna Iddrisu said.
He further disclosed that the government plans to recruit approximately 50,000 teachers and an additional 10,000 non-teaching staff within the year. These recruitments, he stated, have already been factored into the 2025 budget.
