The National Secretariat of the Teacher Trainees’ Association of Ghana (TTAG) has announced major progress in negotiations with the Conference of Principals of Colleges of Education (PRINCOF) regarding the current fee structure for public colleges of education across the country.
In a statement issued on October 30, TTAG said a constructive engagement was held on Monday, 27th October 2025, where both parties reached several key resolutions aimed at easing the financial burden on teacher trainees.
According to TTAG General Secretary Victor Atsu Anyidoho and TTAG President Divine Nanija, the following agreements were reached:
- Residential Fees: The proposed fee of GH¢1,000.00 has been reduced to GH¢800.00. This charge applies solely to residential students and is non-compulsory for non-residential trainees. Students who prefer to live off-campus or in private accommodation may commute from their respective residences to attend lectures.
- Digital Resources Fees: The component relating to digital resources has been temporarily withdrawn from the approved fee structure. It will remain under review for potential future implementation, depending on its relevance and overall benefit to teacher trainees.
- Rental of Mattresses: Principals have been advised not to levy any separate charges for mattresses or related items. The rental of school mattresses has been completely removed from the approved fee schedule.
- College-Specific Fees: Internal fees and levies that differ among Colleges will be addressed at the local SRC level. TTAG’s National Secretariat has pledged to support any Student Representative Councils (SRCs) facing challenges in resolving such issues.
The TTAG leadership reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to safeguarding the welfare and interests of all teacher trainees nationwide.
The Secretariat further assured members that any new developments from ongoing discussions with relevant stakeholders will be promptly communicated.
