At the end of this month, March 2022, teachers and employees at senior high schools around the country are expected to pay 10% of their basic wages as rent for occupying a school and government residence.
The Ghana Education Service in the Western Region has given teachers notice that their wages will be deducted by 10%.
A GES circular circulating on social media, written by Mrs. Felicia Agyeibea Okai, Director of Education in the Western Region, alluded to a Ministry of Finance circular dated May 15, 2006, in conjunction with the payment.
Teachers who work in a school or a government residence are asked to pay ten percent of their base wage to enjoy the benefits, she said.
“I, therefore, write to inform you that with effect from 1st March 2022 all Teachers/Staff occupying School/Government bungalow are to pay 10% of their basic salary,” she noted.
