Three major teacher unions in Ghana - UTAG, TUTAG, and CETAG - have jointly warned the government over delays in releasing exchange rates and payments for the Book and Research Allowance (BRA).
In a press release dated June 9, the unions expressed deep frustration. "This delay has caused significant uncertainty and frustration among our members, who depend on this critical support for their research and academic work," they said.
After a joint meeting on June 8, the unions resolved not to accept payment delays beyond September 2025. "We have resolved that we will not accept an extension of payments beyond September 2025," they declared.
They also issued a strike warning: "If the government fails to commence the payment process by the 13th of June 2025, this will be considered a strike notice." The unions are urging government to act swiftly "to avert any disruption to the academic calendar and to ensure that the welfare of teachers and the broader academic community is prioritised."
