Many trainees had voiced concerns over the delay, citing growing financial pressure amid rising living costs. The allowance, intended to support their education-related expenses, is a crucial lifeline for most teacher trainees, many of whom rely on it for accommodation, transportation, and basic needs.

In a statement from the Ministry of Education, the government reassured students that it remains committed to prioritizing teacher education and will work to prevent such delays in future disbursements.

With this payment now completed, trainee teachers are hopeful that future allowances will be paid promptly and consistently, allowing them to focus on their academic work without the added stress of financial uncertainty.
