The Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has met with the leadership of teacher unions to resolve concerns regarding the placement of teachers on appropriate salary scales. Following the meeting, the teacher unions have agreed to call off their threatened strike action, with assurances and concrete measures put in place to address the issue.
Key resolutions include eliminating the requirement for teachers to travel to District Education Offices to submit payslips for salary-scale placement, with nearly 80,000 teachers expected to be correctly placed on their salary scales. The Ghana Education Service will provide data to the Controller and Accountant-General’s Department to facilitate adjustments and payments to affected teachers.
The Ministry of Education expressed appreciation for the unions' constructive engagement and commitment to resolving the matter in the interest of Ghana's education system and teacher welfare.
