Three major teacher unions – GNAT, NAGRAT and PRETAG – have expressed total dissatisfaction and rejection of the Controller and Accountant-General’s Department (CAGD) following its announcement that two key allowances due teachers in November 2025 would not be paid as agreed.
In a joint letter signed by King Ali Awudu, President of PRETAG; Thomas T. Musah, General Secretary of GNAT; and Eric Agbe-Carbonu, President of NAGRAT, the unions expressed their deep disappointment over the CAGD’s press release explaining its inability to pay the Continuous Professional Development Allowance (CPDA) and the Complementary Digital Instructional Support Allowance (CDISA).
According to the unions, the failure to release the allowances violates the 2024 Collective Agreement, which clearly stipulates that the two allowances must be paid in November 2025.
“We hereby register our strongest displeasure with the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Finance, the Ghana Education Service, the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, and the Controller and Accountant-General’s Department.”
Stated Teacher Unions
They called on the Minister for Education to intervene urgently and ensure that the agreed allowances are paid without further delay, emphasizing that the breach has the potential to disrupt the labour front.
