Teacher and nursing trainee allowances maintained in 2025 budget

The government has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting teacher and nursing trainees by maintaining their allowances in the 2025 fiscal year.

Finance Minister Dr. Ato Forson, presenting the 2025 Budget on March 11, assured Parliament that funds have been allocated to ensure timely payments.

The allowances, designed to ease financial strain and boost enrollment in education and healthcare sectors, have faced delays in recent years, sparking concerns among trainees.

Dr. Forson pledged that the government is working to streamline disbursements to prevent future delays.

This move reinforces the administration’s focus on sustaining essential support systems for students pursuing critical professions in Ghana’s development agenda.
