COHBS demand immediate payment of responsibility allowance arrears by March
The Conference of Heads of Basic Schools (COHBS) in the Volta Region has called on the government to settle all outstanding responsibility allowance arrears for headteachers by the end of March 2025.
At a press conference in Ho, Mr Vincent Gordor Stephen, the Volta Regional Chairman of COHBS, said he was worried that nearly one-third of headteachers in the region have been denied their rightful allowances for years, significantly affecting their morale and commitment.
“It is unacceptable that headteachers, who bear the heavy responsibility of managing schools, are being denied their due allowances. This has demoralised not only headteachers but also teachers under their leadership. We demand that all arrears be paid in full without any deductions for taxes,” he stated.
