NAGRAT not satisfy with new salary increment for teachers
Ho, Jan. 17, GNA - Mr Kwame Alorvi, president of National
Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) on Tuesday
expressed dissatisfaction with the new salary increment
announced for teachers.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency in an interview at Ho, Mr
Alorvi said the increment announced by the government failed
to address the disparity between teachers and other public
workers especially those in the health sector.
Mr Alorvi stated that the increment was between 30 and 35
per cent and not between 30 and 60 as reported in the media.
He said teachers were not calling for absolute salary but
also the relativity between them and other workers, adding
that with the current increment, the salary gap between
teachers and other workers remained very wide and “only make
a mockery of the teaching profession".
Mr Alorvi appealed to the government to take a second look
at the entire salary structure to solve the relativity
problem.
He called on teachers to join hands with their leadership so
that with one voice they could be heard in order to make the
profession admirable to the younger generations.
