He indicated that non-professional teachers will see their allowance raised from GH¢800 to GH¢1,800.
The spokesperson added “The NPP Government has increased Teacher’s Professional Development Allowance (PDA) by 100%. It has been increased from GHC 1200 yearly to GHC 2400. All teaching and Non-Teaching staff with PSL 14 and above have all been paid GHC 2400 this month.”
