The Ministry of Education has announced the completion of payments for two outstanding teacher allowances for November 2025.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, the Ministry said the Controller and Accountant-Generalโ€™s Department (CAGD) successfully processed and disbursed the allowances after resolving a technical issue that affected the final payroll run.

The Ministry explained that the delay was due to an unforeseen technical problem, which has now been fully addressed, allowing the payments to be completed.

It apologized to teachers nationwide for the inconvenience and thanked them for their patience and continued dedication to quality education.

The Ministry further assured that it will continue collaborating with the CAGD and other stakeholders to strengthen payroll systems and prevent similar delays in the future.
