a point already made<\/a><\/strong><\/span> by the General Secretary of the CCT, Raymond Boakye Darkwa, saying the motivation allowance was instituted by Parent Teacher Associations (PTA) and not the government, and so it had no business touching it.<\/p>\n\u201cThe teacher motivation allowance, first of all, was not instituted by the state. It is not paid by government. It is money that is paid by the PTA so for the ministry to\u00a0come out to say that government is scrapping the teacher motivation allowance is neither her nor there.\u201d<\/p>\n
CCT’s General Secretary, Mr. Raymond Boakye, speaking to Citi News<\/strong> earlier this week, also stated that the motivation allowance, which is GH\u023c10 per head for each student at the Senior High School level, was introduced to cater for teachers who had decided to work extra hours in the interest of their students so they could have more time to cover the curriculum.<\/p>\nBut the government in announcing the scrapping of the allowance from next year, said\u00a0the allowance had outlived its usefulness since teachers were now earning improved salaries.<\/p>\n
Mr. King Alidu Awudu says teachers may be forced to cut down teaching hours if government implements the directive.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf government goes ahead to\u00a0take away the motivation allowance, we shall retaliate by withdrawing the number of hours we have put in it.” he warned.<\/p>\n
