According to the Minister, there are 350,00 Ghana Education staffs on the payroll, and only a total of 35,512 staff qualify for the Responsibility Allowance.
Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh comment comes after he was asked when the Government of Ghana (GoG) will duly pay the professional allowance for validated professional and non-professional teachers.
