November Ending Payment of Professional Development Allowance, a Strategic Vote-buying Plan
The decision by the ruling NPP to pay teachers Professional Development Allowance is laudable however, the decision to pay it at the end of November, thus nearly a week to the 2020 presidential and parliamentary election looks more like a politically calculated vote-buying strategy. It’s a one-off payment and will be paid in December every year according to the government.
It may look like a well thought of plan to excite the teaching fraternity a week to elections however, the government must watch out for things that may go wrong and the impact it will have on teachers.
Just as the teachers Legacy Arrears are not fully paid and those whose arrears are hanging as tormenting the government so shall it be if some teachers whose data have been captured for the payment of the Professional Development Allowance miss out.
Extra care needs to be taken not to create a Professional Development Allowance Arrears and cause teachers to start battling the government for unpaid duly deserved allowance.

The Minister of Education, Hon. Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh has reassured the teachers of Ghana that their Professional Development Allowance will be paid at the end of November 2020.
It is important that the ministry works hand in hand with the Ghana Education Service and ensure it does not fail any teacher.
Hopefully, all qualified teaching and non-teaching staff who have been validated will smile out of the banking halls with either GHS1200 or GHS800 more at the end of November 2020.
