  Education Minister Exposes Misuse of Government Learning Tablets in Senior High Schools. He said... The Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has disclosed that some Senior High School students are diverting government-issued tablets from their academic purpose to access pornographic content.  The revelation has sparked widespread concern over the effectiveness of digital learning controls in schools and the moral implications of unchecked access to technology. Addressing Parliament of Ghana, the minister explained that the tablets were supplied under the Free SHS programme to strengthen digital education by giving students direct access to curriculum-based learning materials.  However, he revealed that many of the devices were distributed without adequate customisation and security restrictions, creating loopholes that have allowed students to misuse them for non-academic and inappropriate activities. Mr. Iddrisu stated that the national rollout of the tablets cove...

NDC Teachers’ Forum Demands Immediate Payment of Outstanding CPD and Digital Allowances. The Teachers’ Wing of the National Democratic Congress Professionals Forum has expressed deep concern over the continued delay in the payment of teachers’ Continuous Professional Development (CPD) and digital allowances, describing the situation as unacceptable and deeply worrying for members across the country. In a press statement issued on 26 November 2025, the leadership of the NDC Professionals Forum Teachers’ Wing noted that the two allowances, which form part of the collective agreement between government and teachers, have still not been paid several weeks after they were due. According to the group, the delay has placed unnecessary financial strain on teachers who depend on these funds to support their professional growth and classroom work. While acknowledging the efforts of the government to improve conditions in the education sector, the forum raised concerns that certain individuals or...

'This is not a Christmas or end-of-year package' – NAGRAT president on delayed allowances. The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) has expressed strong dissatisfaction over the delayed payment of teachers’ allowances, following comments by its President, Angel Carbonu, during an interview on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem. Mr. Carbonu disclosed that assurances given to the association just last week regarding the release of the outstanding allowances have not been honoured. He described the situation as frustrating and unfair to teachers who were made to genuinely expect payment within the month. According to him, the collective agreement between teacher unions and government clearly spells out that the payment should be made in November. He explained that NAGRAT had already informed its members based on this official agreement, and the current delay has understandably created anxiety and disappointment among teachers nationwide. The NAGRAT President cautioned that the con...

According to Mr. Musah, the validation process for the payment was completed, and indications were given that the allowances would be paid. However, the payment has not been made, placing ...
