Teachers' strike: It's the fault of CAGD, not govt - Akwatia MP
The teacher unions have directed their members to stay off the job from today until the government addresses their concerns.
The Member of Parliament for Akwatia, Bernard Bediako Baidoo, has placed the blame for the ongoing teacher strikes on the Controller and Accountant General Department (CAGD), rather than the government or the Minister of Education. The unions, including the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and Pre-Tertiary Teachers’ Association of Ghana (PRETAG), have declared a nationwide industrial action, urging their members to stay off work until their concerns are addressed.
The unions are specifically citing issues such as delays in the payment of the 20 percent Deprived Area Allowance, failure to place promoted teachers on the government payroll, and the need for immediate action from the CAGD.
