THE Hohoe Municipal Director of Education, Mrs Juliet Beauty Kumah, has assured the 2007 batch of the Diploma in Basic Education teachers that their salaries and arrears will be paid in full by the end of November this year.
According to the director, all the necessary work had been completed and at the end of this month they would return home with smiles.
A number of teachers in the Hohoe Municipality and other parts of the country who completed their training in 2007 have expressed concern about the failure of the Ghana Educations Service to put them on the correct salary scale.
According to them, despite several appeals to the GES, nothing had been done to that effect.
They said apart from not being put on the right salary scale, they were yet to be given arrears due them.
In an interview in relation to a four-point resolution sent to her and other stakeholders in education by the 2007 batch of teachers in the Hohoe municipality, she explained that the delay was due to the breakdown of machinery between August and October this year.
According to the resolution, the teachers asked that their arrears should be paid in full, and that they should be placed on the correct salary scale by November 15.
They further asked the Director General of the Ghana Education Service (GES) to conduct investigations into the undue delay to prevent a recurrence.
The resolution warned that should their conditions not be met by November 15 they would mount persistent pressure to back their demand.
