Over 250 unpaid teachers in Northern Region hit the streets. Teachers recruited in 2023 and posted to the Northern Region have petitioned the Minister of Education to intervene in what they describe as a “grave professional and financial injustice,” after working for more than two years without pay. The affected teachers, numbering about 250 in the Northern Region and nearly 400 nationwide, say persistent delays in staff ID generation by the Ghana Education Service have prevented them from being placed on the government payroll, despite assuming duty in 2023. Reading the petition on behalf of the group, the president of the association rejected claims made by the Regional Education Director on Sagani TV that their appointments are fake. “We completely reject the assertion that our appointments are fake. We followed all due processes and possess valid appointment letters, regional posting letters, and duly signed assumption-of-duty forms from our various districts and schools,” he state...

  Teachers Fund Announces Restoration of GOG TPRS for Loan Processing Effective.... Following a period of temporary disruption that affected loan verification procedures, the Teachers Fund has officially confirmed the full restoration of the Government of Ghana (GOG) Third Party Reference System (TPRS), effective 16 February 2026.  The reactivation of the platform restores the necessary verification framework required for processing members’ loan applications and signals a return to normal operational standards. Members are required to generate their 11-digit mandate numbers exclusively from the old GOG payslip portal and validate their One-Time Password (OTP) on the same platform. The 10-digit mandate numbers produced by the new GOG payslip portal are not compatible with the TPRS infrastructure and must therefore not be used for loan processing. Applicants are further advised to confirm that their mandate numbers remain valid and have not exceeded six (6) months from the date...

As a result, some employees are unable to access their payslips. Required...
