We bring to you warm greetings from the National Secretariat of our noble association TTAG, we are through this release extending our profound gratitude to the following stakeholders, Students Loan Trust Fund (STLF) and Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC formerly NCTE), for the supportive services they are rendering towards the welfare of teacher trainees.
We are also grateful to the membership of our noble association for their continuous support and contributions towards the betterment of the association.
After acknowledging the receipt of your issues, the leadership per the engagement with stakeholders report to you the updates on the following issues;
EXTENSION OF THE ACADEMIC CALENDER.
The leadership of the association petitioned GTEC formerly NCTE to assist in extending the number of weeks three hundred students will be engaged for the face to face interactions on campus since the online tuition characterized with challenges such as poor accessibility to the online platforms, difficulty in understanding some courses virtually and the reduction of the normal sixteen weeks per semester to twelve weeks.
The leadership of the association is delighted to announce to all collegians GTEC is currently engaging UCC (the affiliated university) to find solutions to the concern raised by the leadership of the association, we will promptly notify our constituents the outcome of it.
PAYMENT OF TRAINEES ALLOWANCE
The leadership took the opportunity during the introduction to the leadership of the Students Loan Trust Fund to discuss issues about Trainees Allowance.
The leadership gave an assurance that the allowance will be paid and further stated, the delay in the payment of the allowance is as a result of the transition exercise at the Ministry of Education.
Trainees should therefore exercise patience and when it is done, we shall hear
a positive response regarding the payment of the allowance
FEEDING COMPONENT OF THE ALLOWANCE
The leadership had an interactive discussion with Prof. Mohammed Salifu, the Director General for GTEC on the feeding component of trainees.
Trainees To Exercise Patience As The Leadership Is Finding Means To Solve Their Problems.
After listening to our points urged the leadership of TTAG to first liaise with the Principals and if consensus is not reached he will take it up from there.
He reiterated that the reason given to the earlier feeding component is different from the current situation. We meekly, call on all trainees to exercise patience as the leadership is finding means to solve this problem once and for all.
