Teachers’ strike is legitimate despite impact on learning – Education Specialist

Education Specialist Divine Kpe has described the ongoing teachers’ strike as legitimate, arguing that teachers’ welfare concerns must be addressed despite the disruption to teaching and learning.

Divine Kpe said the recent alignment of the academic calendar, which allows the various levels of the education sector to operate within the same academic year, must also be protected.

Speaking to Joshua Kodjo Mensah on Morning Starr on Starr FM, Divine Kpe said he was equally concerned about the loss of contact hours between teachers and learners, particularly because the new academic year had only recently begun.
