”Besides, the licenses, once received are supposed to be renewed every three years therefore, it is strange to see another deduction for a licence we have paid for but not received.” They said.
”Contrary to the agreement not to tax the teachers Professional Development Allowance, there is an indication that the money to be paid at the end of November has been taxed. This unfortunate turn of events does not go down well with us, therefore, we call for the immediate reversal of the tax.”
”As teachers, we are the country’s gatekeepers, opening doors to opportunities and possibilities that are beyond the foreseeable horizon.”

”We, therefore, should be accorded the best of respect when it comes to issues of our remuneration and conditions of service.” They concluded.
Teachers and other staff of the Ghana Education Service (GES) have been hit with some controversial deductions in the month of November.
Reports reaching EducationGhana indicates, that the controversial deductions include, GH¢100 National Teaching Council (NTC) deductions for Teacher License as well as GH¢ 509.55 Teacher Laptop deductions.
There have been allegations of an NTC License Renewal Tax which was deducted on a license that has not been renewed yet.
This has led to about GH¢200.00 increase in the tax being paid by the teachers.
