TTAG Releases Important Update on Teacher Trainees’ Allowance Disbursement – Affected Trainees Given November 10 Deadline
The Teacher Trainees’ Association of Ghana (TTAG) National Secretariat has released an important update concerning the recent allowance disbursement to teacher trainees across the 49 public Colleges of Education in Ghana.
In a statement dated November 9, 2026, TTAG addressed complaints from teacher trainees regarding differences in the number of months covered by the recent allowance payments. The association has also provided directives for trainees who have not received any allowance in the first and second disbursements.
TTAG Explains Differences in Allowance Payments
Following the recent allowance payments, some teacher trainees complained that they had received different amounts.
While some trainees received allowances covering two months, others received payments for three months or four months. This situation raised concerns among trainees, with many seeking clarification about the differences in their payments.
According to TTAG, its leadership engaged the Students Loan Trust Fund (SLTF) to seek clarification on the matter.
The SLTF explained that the allowance disbursement process had been completed. However, the Fund added that trainees who received fewer months than expected still have outstanding balances pending.
This means that trainees who received partial payments are expected to receive their remaining balances when the outstanding payments are processed.
TTAG has therefore advised all affected trainees to remain calm while the association continues to engage the SLTF for further clarification and updates.
Directives for Trainees Who Have Not Received Any Allowance
TTAG has issued specific instructions for teacher trainees who have not received any allowance in both the first and second disbursements.
According to the statement, affected trainees are required to report to their respective Local TTAG (SRC) Executives.
The local executives will collect the necessary information, prepare a list of affected trainees from their respective colleges and submit the compiled list to the TTAG National Secretariat.
The following information must be provided:
1. Full Name
2. Ghana Card Number
3. Index Number
Affected trainees are encouraged to provide accurate information to their local executives to ensure that their details are correctly captured.
Deadline for Submission of Names
TTAG has given a deadline for the submission of names of trainees who have not received any allowance in the first and second disbursements.
All affected trainees must report to their Local TTAG (SRC) Executives before Tuesday, November 10, 2026.
The local executives are also expected to ensure that the lists submitted are accurate, contain no duplicate entries and include only trainees who have not received any payment at all.
This is important because trainees who have received partial payments should not be added to the list. According to TTAG, the SLTF is already handling the outstanding balances of trainees who received fewer months than expected.
Therefore, trainees who received two or three months instead of the expected amount should not report themselves as having received no allowance.
The TTAG National Secretariat has assured teacher trainees that it will continue to engage the Students Loan Trust Fund until the concerns surrounding the allowance payments are addressed.
The association has also promised to share further updates as new information becomes available.
TTAG further reaffirmed its commitment to protecting the interests and welfare of teacher trainees across all 49 public Colleges of Education in Ghana.
All teacher trainees who have not received any allowance in the first and second disbursements should contact their Local TTAG (SRC) Executives immediately and provide their full names, Ghana Card numbers and index numbers.
The deadline for submitting the required information is Tuesday, November 10, 2026.
Trainees who have received partial payments are advised to remain calm, as the SLTF has indicated that their outstanding balances are still pending.
For now, all affected trainees are encouraged to follow the official communication from TTAG and avoid spreading unconfirmed information about the allowance payments.
