Some newly trained teachers are threatening to drag the National Service Secretariat (NSS) to court over what they termed as illegal deductions from their June allowances.<\/p>\n

According to the teachers who are currently serving as national service personnel, they weren\u2019t informed prior to the deductions last month.<\/p>\n

One of the leaders of the teachers making the complaint, Ekow Djan who spoke to Citi News<\/strong> said their members did not sign up for the national service week celebration which the amount is being deducted for.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think anybody or someone has said somewhere that he needs a Lacoste to celebrate NASPA week. We the newly trained teachers think that the deductions are illegal so our monies should be refunded to us.\u00a0 It has not been stated in any document or in past conventions that monies should be deducted.\u00a0 So, if the National Service Secretariat fails to refund the monies to us, we will definitely head to the court to seek redress\u201d, he warned.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
