Coalition of Unpaid Teachers to Hold Press Conference Over Salary Arrears and Staff ID Delays A coalition of newly posted teachers, comprising 2024 graduates from Colleges of Education and universities, has announced plans to hold a press conference to address persistent challenges affecting their professional and financial stability.  The group aims to draw public and institutional attention to unresolved issues that continue to affect newly recruited educators across the country.

The coalition also highlighted the problem of outstanding salary arrears. Reports indicate that some teachers are owed between twelve and fourteen months of...
