The coalition of Unpaid Teachers has kicked against government\u2019s intention to pay them four months of their accrued salaries instead of the multiple years that they have worked without pay.<\/p>\n
It has\u00a0questioned the reasoning behind government\u2019s decision and queried why in some instances, three years of accrued salaries will be forfeited.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Citi News<\/strong>, the General Secretary of the group, Isaac Amponsah, noted that they had sighted a directive to all regional directors of education which indicated that they will finally be paid monies, but only covering four months.<\/p>\n Mr. Amponsah called the development unfair and accused the authorities of short-changing the unpaid teachers.<\/p>\n \u201cWe thinks it is unfair… Seriously, there is\u00a0something wrong somewhere that we think authorities ought to go back and do something about this issue,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n He further called on government to reconsider its\u00a0decision.<\/p>\n \u201cWe just want authorities to think about this decision they have taken and do something for us because it is not fair.\u201d<\/p>\n No support from NAGRAT, GNAT<\/strong><\/p>\n
