GNAT complains about unfair treatment of teachers

The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) says it is not happy about the unfair treatment of its members by the government.

This comes in the wake of unexplained reduction in the October salary of teachers. Some of the teachers were reported to have had their salary slashed by about a-half.

A press statement issued and signed by the Ejisu-Juaben Municipal Secretary of the Association, Mr Agyen Frimpong, said it was disturbing that since the implementation of the Single Spine Salary Structure (SSSS) it had been difficult for any teacher to tell his or her actual monthly take home pay.

He said even more irritating was the unjustified delay in the release of their pay slips.

“They are yet to receive their pay slips for August, September and October”, it added.

It said they had raised their concerns with the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the Controller and Accountant General’s Department but nothing had changed.

This was fueling apprehension and anger among the teachers and the GNAT demanded that things needed to be fixed and must be done quickly.
