Until we see concrete action, we will stay home – Striking teachers

The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) has rejected what it describes as further promises from the government to address outstanding concerns over teachers’ conditions of service, insisting that teachers will remain on strike until concrete action is taken.

The comments indicate that the unions are maintaining their industrial action despite the latest meeting with the Education Minister, with the payment and implementation of outstanding commitments remaining central to their position.

Isaac Baah, Head of Salaries at GNAT, made the position clear after meeting the Minister of Education and his team on Monday, September 28, as part of efforts to resolve the issues that triggered the nationwide strike and pave the way for teachers to return to the classroom.
