Northern Region pupils left unsupervised as teacher unions begin strike

Madam Hamdia, a food vendor at Betany Primary School, said she arrived at the school on Monday morning only to be informed that the teachers were on strike.

The strike, called by the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT), has left classrooms empty and school compounds turned into playgrounds."Our schools are already deprived with numerous challenges, and then a strike action—you can imagine what it will do to the students.
