Teacher trainee allowance still scrapped

President Mahama explained that the government has only restored the allowance of the nursing trainees.

 

This was said by President Mahama to clarify the current reports which suggest that allowances for both teacher and nursing trainees have been restored.

President Mahama made this clarification when he was addressing students of the University of Ghana as part of his campaign tour of the Greater Accra Region.

President Mahama on a tour in the Brong Ahafo Region in August mentioned that they had restored the allowance of the nursing trainees.

But he explained that they have not restored that of the teacher trainees because they have been upgraded to tertiary status where degrees are awarded.
