The Ministry of Education has invited the leadership of the Ghana Association of University Administrators (GAUA) and the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) to an urgent meeting on Monday, October 12, 2026, to resolve an ongoing strike that has disrupted university administration and forced two major public universities to postpone reopening.“Government remains hopeful that the meeting will yield a positive outcome and facilitate a swift return to normal academic and administrative activities across affected tertiary institutions,” the statement added.

The Ministry also urged all parties to approach the meeting in good faith, warning of the impact of the strike on students, university communities and the wider national interest.
