Teacher unions to meet government Monday over nationwide strike

Pre-tertiary teacher unions in Ghana are set to meet with the government on Monday, September 28, in an effort to resolve outstanding concerns over their conditions of service and end their nationwide strike. The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), and the Pre-Tertiary Teachers Association of Ghana (PRETAG) declared the strike due to issues such as the payment of promotion arrears and delays in negotiations over conditions of service.

NAGRAT President Jacob Anaba expressed willingness to engage with the government at the meeting, stating that the purpose is to resolve the issues that led to the strike. The meeting is expected to focus on the unions' demands and potential steps towards resolving them, which could impact whether the strike continues or is suspended based on the progress made during the negotiations.
