The Teacher Trainees’ Association of Ghana (TTAG) has officially announced the payment schedule for the long-awaited teacher trainee allowance arrears, bringing much-needed clarity and relief to thousands of trainees across the country.
In a message posted on its verified social media handles, TTAG confirmed that the government will disburse five months’ worth of trainee allowances today, August 1, 2025.
This payment covers the arrears owed for the recent semesters and marks a key milestone in resolving the lingering concerns surrounding the delayed payments.
According to TTAG’s statement:
“Dear Trainees, Joy is coming. Good news: the five-month allowance will be paid today. Happy new month. Thank you.”
This highly anticipated update has sparked optimism and some sense of celebration among trainee teachers, many of whom have had to endure months of financial strain while awaiting their allowances.
The total amount to be disbursed stands at GH¢980, calculated at GH¢196 per month for the five-month period.
The association’s message was clear, simple and uplifting, signalling renewed commitment to trainees’ welfare.
TTAG has consistently served as a bridge between teacher trainees and the Students Loan Trust Fund, advocating for timely and transparent disbursement of allowances.
It is hoped that payment will be made promptly to strengthen trainees’ trust in their national leadership.
Many trainees are closely monitoring developments and awaiting confirmation to validate the transaction.

I haven’t received some of the allowance since level 100 and I’m in level 300 now.
If you’re now in level 300 and still haven’t received some of your allowances from level 100, here’s what you should do:
Kindly forward your complaint to the Allowance Liaison Officer in your college.
They are responsible for compiling unresolved allowance issues and submitting them to the Student Loan Trust Fund (SLTF) for verification and payment.
Make sure to include:
Your full name and student ID
The specific months or semesters you didn’t receive payment
A copy of your Ezwich transaction history (if available)
Any previous correspondence or proof of submission
This step is important because SLTF relies on verified institutional data to process arrears.
The earlier you escalate it through the right channel, the better your chances of resolution.
Will level 100 receive their allowances and when will ot come.
Yes, level 100 teacher trainees will also receive their allowances—but only after the Student Loan Trust Fund (SLTF) is done verifing their submitted data. This includes confirming their personal details, institutional records, and other vital information
