“I’ll have no honour if your arrears are not paid by October 30,” Haruna Iddrisu tells teachers

The Minister’s comments come as the National Teaching Council hosts the 2026 Ghana Teacher Prize under the theme “Empowering Teachers: Architects of the Future.

As government continues its engagements with teacher unions over their concerns, the Ghana Teacher Prize provides an opportunity to recognise the dedication of teachers and reaffirm the importance of investing in the people responsible for educating the country’s future leaders.

Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu has renewed his appeal to teacher unions to call off their ongoing strike, assuring teachers that government is committed to resolving their concerns, particularly issues surrounding promotion arrears.
