There has been a news article in circulation claiming that the Minister of Education, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, declared that the government is unable to afford the payment of allowances for teachers and nursing students.
According to this article, the government is allegedly considering canceling these allowances altogether. However, we would like to clarify that this statement is false and unsubstantiated.
Upon conducting rigorous fact-checking, we have found no evidence to support the claim that Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum made any such statement regarding the cessation of trainee allowances.
Furthermore, we can assure you that the government has no immediate plans to eliminate these allowances.
We understand the concern and confusion caused by this misleading news. Therefore, we urge all trainees to disregard such messages and remain confident in the receipt of their allowances from the government in due time.
It is crucial to emphasize that the government values the dedication and hard work of teachers and nurses in training, and they recognize the importance of providing them with the support they need to succeed.
