‘No concrete commitments from government’ – Brong Ahafo teacher unions maintain strike

“The Ministry was unable to provide firm commitments and definite timelines for resolving the issues raised by the Teacher Unions,” they stated, adding that the nationwide industrial action declared by their national leadership on September 25 therefore remains in force.

The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) and Pre-Tertiary Teachers’ Association of Ghana (PRETAG) in the Brong Ahafo Region said discussions with the Ministry of Education (MoE) ended without an agreement on the issues that triggered the industrial action.

Teacher unions in the Brong Ahafo Region have reaffirmed their participation in the ongoing nationwide industrial action, saying they will remain on strike until government provides what they described as "concrete commitments" to address their outstanding concerns.
