52,000 teachers’ promotion payments targeted for October 15

The exercise follows a September 28 directive from Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu requiring the GES Director-General to submit details of all promoted teachers to the Controller and Accountant-General’s Department to facilitate the payment of outstanding salaries and arrears.

Teachers whose promotions have been delayed could begin receiving their salary adjustments and arrears by October 15, as the Controller and Accountant-General’s Department works to clear the records of 52,000 affected staff.

Controller and Accountant-General Kwasi Agyei said the department had received all the required forms for the 52,000 teachers as of 2 p.
