The Ghana Education Service says teachers who attended training workshops on the new curriculum for basic schools will receive their full allowances “early next week.”
In a statement on its Facebook Timeline, the service explained that the full allowances could not be paid because a tax exemption was being sought.
“The allowances could not be paid because Management intended to write for tax exemption so that the 20%withholding tax which by law had to be deducted on the GH50.0 will not be deducted. This information was communicated to all Regional and District Directorates to make it known to participants.”
The GES, however, urged the teachers to remain calm because “the allowances will be paid early next week.”
