80,000 vs 58,000: GNAT explains teacher numbers behind payment crisis
The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) has explained the apparent discrepancy between the 80,000 teachers referenced in discussions over the ongoing payment crisis and the 58,000 figure reportedly being processed by the Controller and Accountant General’s Department.
Mr Tackie said the Controller and Accountant General’s Department may have prepared for only the 58,000 teachers without accounting for those in the lower ranks who were also promoted.“It’s quite unfortunate that our Controller and Accountant General may have only prepared for the 58,000 by not taking into consideration the others in the lower ranks or the others on the lower rung,” he said.
