The Ministry of Education has denied media reports claiming that the Teachers and Nurses’ Trainee allowances have been cancelled.
The Ministry says in a statement issued on Friday that such reports are untrue and should be disregarded.
The statement signed by its Public Relations Officer, Kwasi Kwarteng, the Ministry said there are no plans or intentions to terminate these allowances.
According to the Ministry, it appreciates the importance of the allowances to the trainees and that any statement(s) attributed to the sector minister, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum regarding the cancellation of the allowances is completely untrue.
“The statement attributed to the Minister for Education, Hon. Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum regarding the cancellation of allowances for teachers and nursing students is categorically false and unfounded. The Ministry of Education denies any such claims or intentions to terminate these allowances.
“We understand the importance of supporting and prioritizing the training of teachers, and the government remains committed to providing necessary financial assistance in these areas.”
The Ministry has thus urged the public to rely on accurate and verified information from official sources such as the Ministry of Education, government press releases, and trusted news outlets for updates on matters concerning education and healthcare.
