EduWatch: 400 teachers can be recruited yearly if allowance is scrapped

  Executive Director of Africa Education Watch, Kofi Asare, has criticised the continued payment of teacher trainee allowances, describing the policy as wasteful and financially unsustainable. According to him, the resources being used to fund the allowances could be redirected into more productive areas within the education sector, particularly the recruitment and payment of additional teachers. Speaking in an interview with TV3 Ghana on Tuesday, May 12, Kofi Asare argued that Ghana must begin re-evaluating long-standing education policies that consume significant public funds without necessarily delivering the best outcomes for the country’s education system. He maintained that teacher trainee allowances no longer serve their original purpose and should be scrapped in favour of investments that directly strengthen teaching and learning in schools. The allowance is wasteful. We won’t discuss it again. It is wasteful. Everybody knows it is wasteful. That amount can hire about 400 t...

Fuel prices set to rise from May 16 despite possible extension of gov’t intervention

  Prices of petroleum products are expected to rise from May 16, 2026, even if the government extends its current programme aimed at cushioning consumers against rising crude oil prices. This is according to the Chief Executive Officer of the Chamber of Oil Marketing Companies, Dr Riverson Oppong. Speaking to JOYBUSINESS in an interview, he outlined two possible scenarios depending on whether the policy is extended beyond its May 16 expiration date. Under the first scenario, where government extends the policy, petrol prices are expected to increase by about 2.5% to 3% per litre, potentially pushing a litre of petrol to around GH¢14.50. Diesel is also projected to rise by about 1.8% per litre, which could take the price to about GH¢16.50. According to him, “extending the policy will only lower the expected margin of increase at the pumps.” Under the second scenario, if government fails to extend the intervention, petrol prices could climb to about GH¢15.80 per litre, while diesel c...
