Strike still in force, stay home – GNAT, NAGRAT and PRETAG tell teachers

GNAT, NAGRAT and PRETAG declared the nationwide strike on September 25, 2026, over unresolved concerns relating to teachers’ conditions of service, promotion and the implementation of the 20 per cent deprived-area allowance.

He said the immediate concerns included the automatic placement of teachers who had passed their promotion examinations, the conclusion of negotiations on a new collective agreement and the implementation of a 20 per cent deprived-area allowance.

The Greater Accra leadership of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) and the Pre-Tertiary Teachers Association of Ghana (PRETAG) have reaffirmed its support for the nationwide strike declared by the three teacher unions.
