The President of the National Association of Graduate Teachers, Angel Kabonu, has revealed how much is added to the salary of a teacher who gets the opportunity to serve as a housemaster in Senior High Schools.
According to him, a teacher earns not more than GH₵100 when he plays the additional role, despite the challenges associated with it.
“When a teacher is promoted to be a housemaster or housemistress, the money you get in addition to your salary is not more than 100 cedis.
"Even the salary of a headmaster is not up to 3,000GHC and that is his take-home pay so you can imagine,” he said Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show on Tuesday.
He revealed this comes at a time when the teacher union has threatened to embark on a strike over their conditions o service.
This situation among others, Mr Kabonu said is not motivating enough for teachers.
He, thus, said the union wants the government to start negotiations aimed at reviewing teachers’ conditions of service or face the dire consequence of a strike action.
