The National Progressive Teachers Association (NAPTA) has called on teachers not to fall prey to the "deceit" of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT)'s claim of being their employers.
The NAPTA, made up of non-graduate teachers, broke away from GNAT in 2006 over a labour misunderstanding, making it the second group that has broken away after a similar move by the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT).
Addressing a press conference at the weekend, the Public Relations Secretary of NAPTA, Mr Daniel Obodai, stated that teachers, especially teacher trainees should note that GNAT was not their employer to determine their salaries as it had claimed.
According to him the claim was one of the tactics of GNAT to dissuade teachers from joining the NAPTA and that all monies contributed by teachers to GNAT under the Teachers Mutual Fund would be retrieved.
Mr Obodai appealed to the government to expedite action on the payment of newly promoted teachers who were still receiving their old salaries since their promotion two years ago.
To upgrade experienced certificate 'A' holders to the diploma status, he urged the GES to design a low cost but efficient and easy training courses for them in order not to place those teachers at a disadvantage when diplomas are awarded to incoming teachers.
