TEACHER TRAINEE ALLOWANCES: UPDATE FROM THE STUDENT LOAN TRUST FUND(SLTF)

 

After several requests to administrators on the Telegram platform of THE BASE pertaining to some confusions about the just settled trainee allowances, we decided to get in touch with the Student Loan Trust Fund herein referred to as SLTF to seek authoritative clarifications to KEEP YOU INFORMED!

One of the major requests received on the Telegram platform by administrators included  the Question: Are final year trainees supposed to be given their feeding components from the just disbursed allowances? SLTF answered this question in the negative. This, according to them, is due to the fact that the just disbursed four-month trainee allowances are arrears from their level 300 second semester and NOT the first semester of their final year where they had their Macro Teaching OR internship. According them this feeding component will be paid along with the next disbursement which should be released in a few weeks time. Level 400 trainees are therefore entreated to remain calm and anticipate payment once funds are released by government.

They further went on to clarify that the late messages trainees were receiving were just messages confirming receipt of the disbursed arrears and NOT additional monies. They encountered a system error which had messages delayed to some trainees while others did NOT receive messages at all.

They also cautioned trainees who indiscriminately threaten them through text messages on Facebook for not disbursing allowances on time to desist from the act due to the fact that they are NOT to blame for late disbursement if the government has not released funds. Their prime duty is the disbursement of the allowances and nothing else. 

Other clarifications about why level 100 trainees did not receive allowances were also addressed by the SLTF. This will be treated in the next blogpost.
