Through the Ministry of Education (MoE), the central government has increased the continuous professional development allowance for teachers for teaching and non-teaching staff in pre-tertiary schools across the country.
The Public Relations Officer for the Ministry of Education announced the increment in a social media post saying, “The CPD allowance for professional teachers has been increased from GH¢1,200 to GH¢2,400 annually.”
He indicated that non-professional teachers will see their allowance raised from GH¢800 to GH¢1,800.
These enhancements, the Education Ministry spokesman said, reflect the government’s ongoing commitment to supporting teachers in pursuing professional development and skills upgrades, ensuring they are equipped with modern skills and knowledge to deliver effective teaching.
The Continuous Professional Development (CPD) allowance was introduced in 2020 by the Government of Ghana as part of efforts to enhance the professional growth of teachers and improve the quality of education.
It provides financial support to professional and non-professional teachers in pre-tertiary schools to engage in ongoing training, acquire new teaching methodologies, and upgrade their skills.
