The Education Minister Harruna Iddrisu has announced that over 6,200 teachers who have worked for more than eight months without salary will finally receive their salaries. According to government, the delay was due to verification and payroll processes now completed.
Speaking at a press on Tuesday October 14, 2025 when briefing at the Ministry, Mr Iddrisu said the decision follows a petition submitted by the affected teachers to the Ministry of Education over their prolonged service without remuneration.
“A few weeks ago, myself and the Chief Director received a petition from some teachers who were unhappy with the government over their unending work for a number of months without their pay,” he said. “I’m happy to announce that Cabinet has given approval for the 6,200 teachers to be absorbed. We’ll begin the process in due course.”
The Minister assures that the affected teachers will soon receive their staff identification numbers and be paid their accumulated salaries as part of the government’s commitment to resolving the issue permanently.
Mr Iddrisu further discloses that Cabinet has authorised the Minister of Finance to reallocate about GH¢1.1 billion to absorb both categories of health workers and teachers who have been awaiting formal posting and salary validation.
“Cabinet gave the Minister of Finance approval to vire about GH¢1.1 billion to absorb a category of health workers and teachers,” he said. “The process will start soon, so there’s no need for further picketing.”
The ministry of education did not disclose the day on which teachers will receive their salaries; nonetheless, this decision follows a significant demonstration by frustrated nurses at healthcare facilities who faced a similar difficulty a few weeks prior.
They advocated for a strike; however, it was rescinded by GNRA following an agreement with Parliament and restarted on June 14, 2025.
