Teacher, nursing trainees’ allowances to be paid by CAGD - Mahama

The Ghanaian government has announced that allowances for teacher and nursing trainees will now be disbursed by the Controller and Accountant General's Department (CAGD). This decision, made by President John Mahama, aims to streamline the payment process and ensure timely disbursement of funds to trainees. The move is part of a broader initiative to enhance support for education and healthcare sectors in the country.

Mahama emphasized the importance of these allowances in alleviating financial burdens on trainees, enabling them to focus on their studies without worrying about their living expenses. He highlighted that consistent support for future educators and healthcare professionals is crucial for national development.

Additionally, Mahama criticized the current government's handling of trainee allowances, asserting that delays have negatively impacted students' lives. He urged the administration to prioritize these payments as a means of fostering a more conducive learning environment for aspiring teachers and nurses across Ghana.
