The National Secretariat of the Teacher Trainees’ Association of Ghana (TTAG) has responded to growing concerns among teacher trainees across the country following the release of the new fee structure for the 2025/2026 academic year.

In a statement issued on Friday, October 24, TTAG acknowledged the widespread anxiety among trainees regarding the revised fees for public Colleges of Education and assured members that the Association’s leadership is actively engaging relevant authorities to seek clarity and fairness on the issue.

According to TTAG, discussions have been initiated with the Conference of Principals of Colleges of Education (PRINCOF), the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC), and the Ministry of Education to ensure that the concerns of trainees are adequately addressed before any payments are made.

“The leadership has taken note of the concerns raised and has begun consultations with the appropriate stakeholders to resolve them,” the statement read.

“We remain committed to safeguarding the collective interest and welfare of all teacher trainees across the 47 public Colleges of Education.”

In the meantime, the Association has advised all teacher trainees to exercise restraint and refrain from making any payments until the matter has been fully clarified and an official directive has been issued.

TTAG also called for calm and unity among its members, urging them to trust the process as the leadership works to achieve a fair outcome.

“The Association encourages all trainees to remain calm, united, and confident as engagements continue,” it added.
