NAGRAT demands signed timelines before calling off strike
The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) says it will not call off the ongoing teachers’ strike until government provides concrete and binding timelines for resolving the outstanding concerns raised by the unions.
The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) has demanded that the government provide signed timelines before calling off the ongoing teachers' strike. NAGRAT President, Jacob Anaba, stated that the union wants concrete and binding commitments on the Collective Agreement, promotion-related payments, and the Deprived Area Allowance before teachers return to work.
At a recent meeting, the government proposed timelines for addressing the concerns, with October 6 set as the date for negotiations on the Collective Agreement and January 2027 for the start of Deprived Area Allowance payments. However, NAGRAT demands that these proposals be formally documented and signed to ensure the issues are resolved. The union is also seeking the immediate processing of promotion-related payments.
