Teacher unions to call off planned strike after engagement with Education Minister

The Ministry of Education said it appreciates the leadership of the teacher unions for their constructive engagement and commitment to resolving the matter in the interest of Ghana’s education system and, most importantly, the welfare of teachers.

Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has concluded a meeting with the leadership of the teacher unions to address concerns relating to the placement of teachers on the appropriate salary scales.

Among the key resolutions is that teachers will not be required to travel to their respective District Education Offices to submit payslips for the purpose of salary-scale placement.
