A number of teachers invaded the Prempeh Assembly Hall in Kumasi on Monday, April 28, 2025, to appeal to President John Dramani Mahama to see the payment of their salaries which have been overdue.
The salaries which have not been paid for the past nine months saw the teachers, who were overwhelmed with frustration kneeling at the entrance to the Prempeh Assembly Hall shouting at the President’s convoy and begging him to intervene in the situation.
This is the second time such a situation has taken place. On April 14, newly posted teachers from various colleges of education in Ghana staged a protest at the headquarters of the Ghana Education Service (GES) in Accra.
Their protest was to demand for the payment of their seven-month salary arrears and the resolution of issues with their identification documents.
The protest became their last resort after trying to amicably and swiftly end months of frustration of teaching without being paid since July 2024.
“We are here because of our unpaid salaries. Some of us have been working for eight months without pay, that’s why we’re demanding answers today” one teacher lamented.
