The Controller and Accountant-General’s Department has confirmed the payment of delayed education sector allowances, which were credited alongside December 2025 salaries following an earlier payroll hitch.

Delayed Allowances Finally Paid

The Controller and Accountant-General’s Department (CAGD) has confirmed that delayed allowances owed to workers in the education sector have now been fully paid.According to the Department, the payments were effected together with December 2025 salaries, bringing relief to affected staff across the education sector.

Reason for the Delay Explained

The CAGD earlier attributed the delay to a technical hitch encountered during the final payroll run for November 2025. The issue affected the processing of some education sector allowances.To prevent a wider disruption to the November salary payments for all Government of Ghana workers, the Department explained that processing of the affected allowances was temporarily paused as a precautionary measure.

Payments Made Earlier Than Announced

Although the CAGD had initially indicated that the outstanding allowances would be paid on 18 December 2025 alongside December salaries, the Department has clarified that the payments were credited earlier than scheduled, on 16 December 2025, together with December salary payments.

Apology and Assurance from CAGD

The Department expressed regret for the inconvenience caused to affected education sector workers and assured the public of ongoing efforts to improve payroll efficiency.CAGD also thanked workers for their patience and understanding, reaffirming its commitment to preventing similar disruptions in future payroll operations.
