Claims that the government plans to eliminate teacher trainee stipend have been denied by the Ministry of Education, which has called the reports false.

The Ministry responded to a front-page article by The Daily Graphic with the headline, "Teacher Trainee Allowance to go," in a press release dated February 4, 2025.

According to the Ministry, the article was erroneous and did not accurately represent Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu's genuine statements.

In a meeting with the Executives of the Principals of Colleges of Education (PRINCOF), the Minister underlined the government's commitment to helping students in Colleges of Education, according to the Ministry.
