CPD allowance for teaching, non-teaching staff doubled – Kwasi Kwarteng

Government has announced an increase in the Continuous Professional Development (CPD) allowance for both teaching and non-teaching staff in pre-tertiary schools nationwide.
According to the Ministry of Education, the CPD allowance for professional teachers has been doubled from GHS1,200 to GH¢2,400 annually, while non-professional teachers will now receive GHS1,800, up from GH¢800.
This increase underscores government's commitment to enhancing the professional growth of educators and ensuring that they are equipped with the latest teaching methodologies and skills to improve learning outcomes.
The CPD allowance, introduced in 2020, was designed to support teachers' participation in ongoing training programmes aimed at upgrading their skills.
By financially assisting teachers in acquiring new knowledge and teaching techniques, the government seeks to improve the overall quality of education in the country.
Speaking on the increase, Kwasi Kwarteng, Spokesperson for the Ministry of Education, reaffirmed government’s dedication to ensuring that Ghanaian teachers remain at the forefront of modern educational practices.
“The government’s decision to increase the CPD allowance reflects our commitment to supporting the continuous professional development of both professional and non-professional teachers. This will enable them to remain competitive and enhance the quality of education delivery across the country,” Mr. Kwarteng said.
The new allowance rates take effect immediately, providing much-needed financial support for teachers as they pursue further training and professional growth.
