Gov’t to build 50,000 housing units for teachers — Haruna Iddrisu

“Apart from the 20 per cent allowance for persons who accept postings into rural areas, we are almost through, led by the District Assemblies Common Fund, with our Teacher Dabre Initiative, which is a bold government programme of President John Dramani Mahama to provide accommodation facilities for teachers across the country,” he said.

Speaking at the Government’s Accountability Series on Monday, July 20, the Minister said the initiative forms part of government’s broader efforts to improve teachers’ welfare and provide the necessary support to enhance their effectiveness in the classroom.

He said the initiative demonstrates the government’s commitment to creating better conditions for teachers, particularly in rural communities where inadequate accommodation remains a challenge.
