MoE – 95% Backpay Disbursement To Active Teachers Achieved

The Ministry of Education (MOE) wishes to remind the public that 95 per cent of backpay payments to active teachers have already been disbursed, reflecting the substantial progress made in settling outstanding salary arrears owed to educators.

In this regard, the Ministry continues to work closely with the Trinidad and Tobago Unified Teachers’ Association (TTUTA) to identify and resolve individual cases requiring further attention. These include matters relating to overpayments, human resource queries, discrepancies in employment records and other administrative or payroll-related issues requiring verification and reconciliation before payments can be finalised.

Additionally, the Ministry continues to facilitate the payment of backpay to retired teachers, with disbursements ongoing as part of its broader efforts to fulfil its financial obligations to eligible educators.
