The Coalition of Unpaid Newly Posted Teachers, comprising graduates from Colleges of Education and universities, has staged a protest in Accra to demand the release of their long-overdue salary arrears.

The group says some of its members have gone without pay for as long as 13 months, despite being duly posted and actively teaching in classrooms across the country.

The protest began in the early hours of Tuesday, September 30, 2025, at the Obra Spot at Nkrumah Circle. From there, the teachers planned to march through the Jubilee House and the Ministry of Education, before converging on the Ministry of Finance to press home their demands.

According to the coalition, the demonstration aims to compel the relevant authorities to urgently settle the arrears and issue the long-awaited staff ID cards required to process their salaries.

Leaders of the group described their continued unpaid service as both unjust and demoralising, vowing to sustain the protest until their grievances are resolved.
