Iddrisu said the government is working to secure financial clearance to bring on additional teachers and close the remaining gap.
He put the country’s full requirement at a minimum of 50,000 teachers, a figure he said depends on the budget and the government’s ability to absorb the cost.
“We need a minimum of 50,000 teachers across the country,” he stated, stressing that funding remains the constraint.
The minister cited Prestea Huni-Valley, where 176 teachers handling several classrooms currently draw their salaries from parents rather than the state.
He added that a newly recruited batch of teachers is expected to begin work on July 1, 2026.
