Teachers suspend strike after reaching agreement with government

Teacher unions have suspended their strike following an agreement with the government on new modalities for addressing outstanding concerns over promotions, salary adjustments and allowances.

Chief Executive of the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC), Dr George Smith-Graham, said consensus had been reached between the teachers and the government, with both parties signing the agreed modalities.

The suspension of the strike follows engagements between the government and teacher unions to resolve the issues that led to the industrial action.
