Mr. Alexander says teachers who did not benefit following the reclassification exercise conducted in 2023 could also receive a one-off payment of as much as 50 percent of their salary.
He says the acting allowance and pension Acts will be amended to bring benefits to teachers in terms of gratuity upon retirement and resignation.
