In a major relief for educators, the Cabinet has approved the payment of long-overdue salaries for 6,200 teachers who have worked for more than eight months without pay. The announcement, made by Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu, follows growing public concern over the government’s delay in over 10 months salary Arrears for affected staff. The Ministry of Education, in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance, is finalizing a joint memorandum to expedite the release of funds.

Minister Iddrisu described the situation as an “unfair labour practice” that demanded immediate action to restore fairness and confidence among the teaching workforce. This move is expected to ease the financial strain faced by many teachers who have endured months of unpaid labor. It also signals the government’s renewed commitment to improving teacher welfare and strengthening Ghana’s education system.

The decision comes at a crucial time as the education sector continues to recover from previous disruptions and strives to enhance learning outcomes nationwide. Once disbursement begins, the long-awaited payment will not only serve as compensation but also as recognition of the teachers’ resilience and dedication to their profession.
