SHS Assistant Heads demand payment of transfer grants and responsibility allowances
The Forum of Assistant Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (FAHASS) has called on the Ghana Education Service (GES) to pay outstanding transfer grants and responsibility allowances due to its members.
The Forum of Assistant Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (FAHASS) has demanded payment of outstanding transfer grants and responsibility allowances from the Ghana Education Service (GES). Assistant Headmaster Dzandza Isaac Mandy, the association's National President, stated that GES regulations mandate transfer grants for staff appointed or transferred to new locations, yet many transferred in 2021 have not received this allowance more than four years later.
Responsibility allowances, supplementary financial packages for additional leadership roles, remain unpaid for some assistant heads. FAHASS advocates for these payments, citing their impact on effective school administration and professional morale. The association also highlighted challenges such as unclear career progression, inadequate office space, limited training opportunities, and other welfare issues.
FAHASS, founded on the belief in assistant heads' pivotal role in school management, aims to secure professional recognition and collaboration with the Ministry of Education and GES to support quality education.
