During the 6th Quadrennial National Delegates Conference of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) held on Tuesday, 4th January 2022, President Akufo-Addo announced affordable housing packages for teachers.

He stated that the package will include both mortgage and rental and for that matter 10,000 houses will be built for this initiative.

“I am fully aware that the one challenge facing
teacher ownership of homes beyond finance is their
inability to purchase home where they intend to
retire.”

“Through a subsidised loan programme, teachers will
be provided an opportunity to own houses in desired
locations in various parts of the country,” the President stated.

This initiative will go a long way to improve on the conditions of service of teachers. Teachers in Ghana will be excited if this initiative comes to pass.
