Old Edubiase Methodist Basic School pupils turn traders, farmers as teachers’ strike bites harder

Classrooms at Old Edubiase Methodist Basic School in the Adansi North District of the Ashanti Region have remained empty for days as pupils abandon their books for farms, markets and football fields following the ongoing nationwide strike by pre-tertiary education teachers.

The strike has led to a total shutdown of basic schools, with Senior High School also recording low attendance as some parents keep their children at home."Our teachers told us to stay at home until we hear that the strike has been called off.
