TTAG UPDATE-ALLOWANCES, FEES, DATES OF REOPENING, PORTFOLIO ASSESMENT

On 29th September, 2021, delegation from the leadership of TTAG engaged stakeholders to get an update on other related issues affecting teacher Trainees. Stakeholders engaged included ; Dr. Eric Nkansah, Technical Advisor in charge of Tertiary Education (MoE), Mrs. Sandra Amoah, Budget officer at Ghana Tertiary Education Commission(GTEC), and Mr. Jerry, Coordinator in charge of Colleges of Education ( GTEC). Issues that the leadership went for an update included; the date for the commencement of the academic year, final decision on the exorbitant provisional fee from PRINCOF after TTAG's intervention, feeding Component of the Teacher Trainees allowance, and the payment of the arrears of Trainees Allowance. The leadership assures all Trainees to stay resolute as, at the appropriate time, official communique on the updates shall be duly given. As we always say, we shan't relent. #Three down!!! One more to go!! TTAG!!! 

UPDATE ON THE PORTFOLIO ASSESSMENT

Our attention  has  been drawn to messages and audio recordings circulating on social media platforms  which is purported to create fear and panic about the whole portfolio  process to newly trained teachers. 

I am through this medium informing  all newly trained teachers that as it was earlier communicated through a communique, the assessors will not be coming until TTAG meets them the second time of which the date is not yet out. 

Pursuant to the above and information  received from Mr. Lawrence Sarpong, the Director for Professional Development of teachers (NTC) , the assessment  is on *hold until further notice* . Disregard any message circulating about the portfolio. 

We shall continue to engage you if there is any new update. Thank you.
