Call off strike, gov’t will not renege on promotion arrears pledge – Haruna Iddrisu appeals to teacher unions

“The government team makes a commitment to the teacher union and to all teachers that we will honour our commitment of the new grades for all promoted teachers on or before 30th October.”The Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has appealed to the three teacher unions to consider calling off their nationwide strike, assuring them that the government will honour its commitments on outstanding issues affecting teachers.

Mr Iddrisu said the government’s immediate priority was to restore normal academic work in public schools, which has been disrupted by the industrial action.
